Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 'Fantasia for piano in F minor (fragment), K. Anh. 32 (383C)' is a solo piano piece that was composed in 1782. The exact date of composition is not known, but it is believed to have been written in the summer of that year. The piece was never completed, and only a fragment of the original manuscript survives. The 'Fantasia for piano in F minor' is a single-movement work that is characterized by its improvisatory style and virtuosic piano writing. The piece begins with a slow and melancholic introduction that sets the mood for the rest of the work. The main body of the piece is a fast and lively section that features rapid runs and arpeggios in the right hand, while the left hand provides a steady accompaniment. The 'Fantasia for piano in F minor' is notable for its use of chromaticism and dissonance, which were unusual for the time. Mozart was experimenting with new harmonic ideas and pushing the boundaries of traditional tonality. The piece also features sudden shifts in dynamics and tempo, which add to its dramatic effect. The 'Fantasia for piano in F minor' was never performed during Mozart's lifetime, and it was not published until many years after his death. The surviving fragment of the manuscript consists of only two pages, and it is unclear how much of the piece was actually completed. Despite its incomplete state, the 'Fantasia for piano in F minor' remains a fascinating example of Mozart's genius and his willingness to explore new musical ideas.
