Fantasia is an early solo piano work by Lera Auerbach, written in 1986. It lasts approximately six minutes and belongs to the earliest layer of her published piano catalogue.

The title places the work in the tradition of the fantasy as a free-form piano genre: a space of invention, movement and improvisatory character rather than a fixed multi-movement design.

• Form One movement.
• Duration Approximately 6 minutes.
• Forces Solo piano.

As a 1986 piano work, Fantasia stands near the beginning of Auerbach’s catalogue. The piece can be presented as an early statement within her long engagement with the piano as both composer and performer.

The available recording evidence points most clearly to Ksenia Nosikova’s recording on Auerbach: Piano Works, where Fantasia appears alongside other solo piano works including Images from Childhood and Memento Mori.
