Danae Vlasse's 'Fantaisies (3) for piano' is a set of three pieces composed in 2012. The work premiered on May 5, 2013, at the Steinway Hall in London, performed by the composer herself. The three movements are titled 'Fantaisie in C Major,' 'Fantaisie in A Minor,' and 'Fantaisie in D Major.' The first movement, 'Fantaisie in C Major,' is a lively and playful piece that showcases Vlasse's skillful use of harmony and rhythm. The opening theme is introduced in the right hand and is accompanied by a rhythmic left-hand pattern. The middle section of the movement features a more lyrical melody, which is then developed and expanded upon in the final section. The second movement, 'Fantaisie in A Minor,' is a more introspective and melancholic piece. The opening theme is a haunting melody played in the left hand, while the right hand provides a delicate accompaniment. The middle section of the movement features a more agitated and dissonant theme, which is then resolved in the final section with a return to the opening melody. The final movement, 'Fantaisie in D Major,' is a joyful and exuberant piece that brings the set to a close. The opening theme is a lively and syncopated melody played in the right hand, while the left hand provides a driving accompaniment. The middle section of the movement features a more lyrical and expressive theme, which is then developed and expanded upon in the final section. Overall, Vlasse's 'Fantaisies (3) for piano' is a masterful work that showcases her skillful use of harmony, rhythm, and melody. The set is characterized by its playful and joyful moments, as well as its introspective and melancholic moments, making it a diverse and engaging work for both performer and listener.
