Moments Musicaux

The French term Moment musical (plural Moments musicaux, musical moments) refers to a short instrumental work, usually quite expressive, similar to an impromptu and often with an improvisational feel, or to sets of classical pieces of this type, in particular the Moments musicaux by Franz Schubert or Sergei Rachmaninov.
