0 a piece of music with no fixed form, or one consisting of tunes that many people know or recognize --
In some older texts this development section may be referred to as free fantasia.
Many other works are lost, including additional keyboard sonatas, duos, fantasias and variations.
Most of the fantasias are complex, multi-sectional pieces, treating multiple subjects imitatively.
The main motif of the chorale fantasia, marked vivace, stands for joy and is set in upward rhythmical propulsion.
The chorale is a chorale fantasia, with the soprano singing the unadorned melody to a three part accompaniment of two violins and continuo.
Several movements are a combination of forms, such as an aria with chorale, a chorale fantasia, a chorus with a chorale as a cantus firmus.
The form evolved during the 18th century from several earlier types of contrapuntal compositions, such as imitative ricercars, capriccios, canzonas, and fantasias.
Thanks to this fantasia every sincere and disinterested attempt at reconciliation from both sides inevitably broke down.
