The 'Fantasia for keyboard in G minor' is a single-movement piece that is characterized by its improvisatory style. The piece begins with a slow and melancholic introduction that sets the mood for the rest of the piece. The main body of the piece is a fast and virtuosic section that showcases the performer's technical abilities. The piece ends with a return to the slow and melancholic introduction, bringing the piece to a peaceful and contemplative close.
