Franz Peter Schubert ： Fantasy in c-moll D 48

Built around the tension of C minor, this piano four-hands fantasy combines dramatic strength with singing, lyrical expression. Within the work’s free-flowing fantasy style, the two players advance the music by passing melodic and accompanimental roles between them. Contrasts between rapidly moving passages and calmer sections, along with changes in harmony, create shifting musical scenes that are central to its appeal. In performance, it is important to maintain the overall flow, balance the volume and tone of each part, and shape natural phrases with unified breathing. Even in forceful passages, avoiding a harsh sound and bringing out subtle changes of expression will highlight the work’s imaginative character.
