    Piece description:
    This is my grand fantasy after motifs from fellow Musescorer Francesco Zigliotto’s operetta “La Partita”. So, first things first, please go listen to the original operetta ( musescore.com/... ), not only because it is absolutely gorgeous, but you could also gain a better understanding of my fantasy.
    The reason I have decided to make a fantasy on this operetta is that it is really rare for a composition on Musescore to have such high quality and production value. After listening to it the first time, I was really impressed. Therefore, I hope I can pay tribute to and popularise the operetta through my work.
    It is important to note that while the themes and motifs presented in this fantasy are originally Francesco’s, they are presented here in completely new contexts. Hence, this piece could be regarded as a complete reimagination of the operetta.
    The innovative harmonic usage is certainly the highlight of this piece. For example, in measures 56 and 57, one of the chords used (D-Eb-F-A-C) is a combination of the dominant seventh chord of G minor (D-F-A-C) and a diminished seventh chord [Eb-F#(Gb)-A-C]. This not only enhances the tension of the music right before the release (hence making the subsequent G minor chord more satisfying), but also prevents the piece from becoming too bright (as the latter section is a funeral march).
    Another highlight is the thematic combination at the climax from measures 453 to 474. This session combines two of the major themes presented in this fantasy, hence creating an exhilarating yet satisfying climax near the end of the piece. Personally, the chorale-like coda of the piece is also my personal favourite. I have used drastic modulations and distant key changes to create the feeling of triumph one will feel after winning a chess game.
    Structure of the piece (references to the original operetta is stated in brackets):
    Measure 1 to 17: Part 1 of the introduction; based on the turn-like ornamental motif in the overture of the operetta (measure 2 of the original operetta)

    if this was written by Liszt i could already imagine the 1000s of virtuoso pianists almost in a race to champion this gigantic piece, we would be talking of the "golden age" pianists in reference to this brilliant (albeit computer generated) interpretation of this brilliant piece. Bravissimo!

    This is amazing. You are very talented. It would be wonderful if you explained something about how to construct these opera fantasies, maybe in some videos. Moreover, I can't wait for your Fantasia on Un ballo in Maschera!

    Is 16:06 a Reference to Liszt's Reminiscences de La Juive?

      Good ears. It is a reference to the La Juive Fantasy with the interlocking chromatic octaves followed by a broken octaves section.
