Mozart’s late piano work Fantasie in D minor K397 was composed in a declamatory style in 1782 and is known for its improvisatory form. The work was left unfinished and only after Mozart’s death was itpublished. The composition has a curious rhythm and a persistently altered tempo that allows more freedom of interpretation. From the first notes the listener often finds himself drawninto a romantic mood. The Fantasieprovides an intimate opening for a lyrical journey towards the Romantic period.Elina Viljanen
