Rossini was born in Pesaro (Italy) and died in Paris. Today he is one of the most famous Italian composers. His operas are performed and celebrated frequently. Clarinettists will be familiar with the piece 'Introduction, Theme and Variations' of 1819 by Rossini. The Fantasia for clarinet and piano is not as well known. The first edition of 'Fantasia per clarinetto e pianoforte' was printed in 1829 by Ricordi in Milan. The work was reprinted by Schott with the title Fantaisie pour piano et Clarinette ou Violon ou Flute in 1890 (plate number 3109) - proof of the popularity of the piece. The Fantasia has a free form with four sections: A dramatic Introduction - a light, exhilarating Theme and two Variations (the first for piano) - an Aria over tremolo chords - and a powerful Finale.
