Fantasy in D Minor, K. 397

Mozart's D Minor Fantasy is for many pianists one of the first introductions to the composer's piano works. As Sara Davis Buechner stresses, it's also a window into Mozart's operatic world.

"Here in miniature fashion you have all the elements of Mozartian drama," Buechner points out. In her lesson, she reveals how the work portrays a movement from chaos and order, beginning with a turbulent "Sturm und Drang" opening in D minor and culminating with the clarity and balance of the final D Major theme.

While foregrounding the character changes that define the work's form, Buechner also spotlights the stylistic conventions which define Mozart playing in general, and demonstrates how to approach these physically and expressively.

In the midst of her musical exploration of the piece, Buechner delivers a wealth of practical advice, often geared to the intermediate player. From memory, fingering, and practice tips to advice on scales, arpeggios, and sustained trills, Buechner's appeals to pianists and music lovers from a range of backgrounds.
