The 'Fantasy for organ in G minor (fragment), K. 528a (Anh. C 27.04)' is a composition by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The exact date of composition is unknown, but it is believed to have been written in the early 1780s. The piece was never completed, and only a fragment of the work survives. The 'Fantasy for organ in G minor' is a single-movement work that begins with a slow and somber introduction. The opening section features a series of descending chromatic lines that create a sense of tension and unease. This is followed by a faster and more lively section that features a series of virtuosic runs and arpeggios. The piece ends abruptly, leaving the listener with a sense of unresolved tension. Despite its incomplete state, the 'Fantasy for organ in G minor' is a fascinating work that showcases Mozart's skill as a composer. The piece is notable for its use of chromaticism and its virtuosic keyboard writing. The work is also notable for its use of the organ, an instrument that Mozart did not often write for. The 'Fantasy for organ in G minor' was never performed during Mozart's lifetime, and it was not published until the 20th century. Today, the piece is occasionally performed by organists and is considered a valuable addition to the repertoire of organ music from the classical period.
