==Movements and Duration==
There is one movement: Allegro furioso (E-flat minor, 150 bars), lasting around 7 minutes in performance.
 
==Composition==
Nothing is known of the process of composition, except that it was written while Tchaikovsky was a student at the [[Saint Petersburg]] Conservatory.
 
==Publication==
The ''Impromptu'' found its way into print accidentally. [[Nikolay Kashkin]] recalled that it had been "set down in the middle of Pyotr Ilyich's other [[Petersburg]] work, and in this notebook were some blank pages on which a new work [the ''[[Scherzo à la russe]]''] was written... When [[P. I. Jurgenson]] wanted to print the ''[[Scherzo à la russe]]'', [[Nikolay Rubinstein|Rubinstein]] took him the whole notebook, but [[P. I. Jurgenson]] did not receive any instructions, and so he had engraved all the pieces he found. When Tchaikovsky saw the proofs of both pieces, he was at first surprised and annoyed that the ''Impromptu'' had also been engraved, but he later became reconciled to this irreversible fact" <ref name="note1"/>.
 
==Autographs==
The autograph score of the ''Impromptu'' has been lost.
