Fantasie

Fantasie (2021) is a large, impactful piece featuring solo piano accompanied by wind ensemble. While composed in sonata-allegro form and conforming to many similar characteristics of a first movement to a piano concerto, it is not to be classified as such. While a solo pianist is certainly featured with many quasi-virtuosic passages, the piece is written relatively accessible so that it can be performed by any intermediate to advanced-level pianist. As traditional concerti are primarily composed to feature a virtuoso soloist, this pieces strays away from the stereotype in many subtle ways.
