The Fantasy in C major "Wanderer Fantasy" (1822) is a fantasia for the piano with a traditional four movements structure (allegro, adagio, presto and final). This work nevertheless brings colour and poetic games so intense that it has travelled through time and it still represents one of the landmarks of the piano sonatas.įurthermore, Schubert also performed other memorable piano pieces, such as Fantasy in C major or "Wanderer Fantasy" for piano, D.
