[el nino]

Bach  Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue
          Fantasy in c minor
Mozart  Fantasy in c minor, K457
Mendelssohn Fantasy in F# minor
Chopin  F minor Fantasy

Not sure what you're talking about but Liszt wrote a spanish rhapsody.

[pianistimo]

i just listened to george bolet play it (right now) and i think it's the first time i've heard that one.  it wasn't that - but that's a great piece, too.

perhaps i heard it for guitar and it was played by rodrigeuz but the composer was someone else.  i'm going to go listen again. 

[presto agitato]

Schubert - Wanderer Fantasy by Far

[thalbergmad]

perhaps i heard it for guitar and it was played by rodrigeuz but the composer was someone else.  i'm going to go listen again. 

You woz probably listening to the guitar concerto by Rodrigo my little sweetiepops.

My fave fantasy is the Thalberg-Rossini-Seriminade.

who the hell is thalberg

[Mozartian]

ah wow...

It'd have to be the Wanderer-Fantasy (Schubert). That is such a total teenager piece, lol. I <3 it.

Others I love:

Bach: Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue (yup- still love it, despite having listened to it on repeat for 4 hours straight a few weeks ago. )

Chopin: Fantasy op. 49
Polonaise-Fantasie

Schumann: Fantasy op. 17 and absolutely all of the fantasiestuckie (esp. the chamber music ones.. those are awesome).

Mozart: Fantasy in c minor k. 475 (I know this isn't one of the best-loved of Mozart's works, but I have to say it's definitely a favorite of mine. It has an sometimes eerie, fairytale feel about it.)

de Falla: Fantasía Baetica

[hodi]

scriabin fantasy op.28

i love op.28 stuff

[thalbergmad]

who the hell is thalberg

Who the hell are you

[pianistimo]

thalbergmad, you read my mind.  that was it!  i thought it was spanish rhapsody - but it's concerto de aranjuez or something like that.  will take a listen to the thalberg-rossini seriminade. 

[pianistimo]

that's a great fantasy.  guess he wrote about four (or more?).  they are very bold and creative.  i like thalberg.  if it weren't for you, i probably wouldn't have gotten interested in thalberg.  sort of like busoni - but i like thalberg's even better.

He wrote many fantasies my little tambourine banger.

His music makes the piano sing, that why i like it.

Thalxxxxx

Surprised no one picked this:
Beethoven Op.77

Mozart Kv 397 is also very beautiful.

[pianistimo]

well.  rodrigo's 'fantasy for a gentleman' is another of rodrigo's works that i just heard this morning.  now i'm really confused. 

anyway, they said that rodrigo was one of the few spanish composers that really blended ancient to modern spanish history with the sounds of his music.  he was also a very well read musician.

Could be a million pieces.  Liszt's Spanish Rhapsody AKA Rhapsodie Espagnol is pretty common repertoire; he also wrote a piece called Grande Fantasie Espagnol which is hardly ever heard.



Corigliano Etude Fantasy

[klavierkonzerte]

chopin fantasie impromptue it's one of most attractive piano works and even those who say they hate it love it but they are still in denial.

schubert wonderer is also great

thalberg moise, bellini caprice, traviata and trovatore

and also my new fantasia diabolique is a new monster waiting to be completed and published   no seriously.

[chocolatedog]

Ah - you meant musical fantasy.....for a moment when I saw the title of this thread George Clooney  came to mind...........

Musically, I like the Brahms Fantasias op 116. But the Mozart D minor is a wonderful piece - I use it with my students as it has so much to offer musically......

[practicingnow]

Let me be the first to nominate Liszt's Don Juan Fantasy
Thank You
