Well, it's not exactly a "type" like a sonata, etude, variations ect. nor does it come from a set.

The composer is not Rachmaninoff, so the piece is not Lilacs. I had a hard time getting into Lilacs.

well, tchaikovsky is right, although Op 56 is not. "Concert fantasy" is not anywhere in the name of the piece - more of a description.

Is this piece a piano solo, or an orchestral piece?
