Fantasia - Ein musikalisches Märchen Philipp M. Gutmann

Like fanfares, the gates of a fairytale setting open and grant a brief glimpse into the extraordinary sound world of Fantasia. Played around by castanets and increasingly propulsive rhythmic elements, a tender, vibratory and musical adventure narrative spins on.

While the first section of the composition deals with isolated scenes in terms of motifs, the second section consists of three parts in which the individual rhythmic and motivic components intertwine in such a way as to create an expressive, dreamy and intense character. The initial fanfare, which also introduces the second section in a varied form, is heard one last time and ends the piece with an exclamation mark.

Sustained and indulgent moments define the mood of Fantasia and form the basis for an entertaining musical fairy tale narrative.
