Introduction

Mozart's works for two keyboard instruments have been popular since the late 17th century, but the earliest four-hand piano works appeared in the second half of the 18th century, because if two people can sit comfortably on the same keyboard Playing at the same time, its range must be greater than four octaves, which is inseparable from the development of the piano. A famous portrait depicting Mozart sitting with his sister Nannel before a keyboard instrument reflects the family music atmosphere of the time. "Fantasia in F Minor" is one of Schubert's most important piano works. It was composed in January 1828, which was the last year of Schubert's life. Like the early "Wanderer Fantasia", the work follows the The structure of four sonata-style movements: Allegro, Adagio, Scherzo and Finale. This single-movement work with beautiful melody and melancholy emotion has never disappeared from the concert stage for many years.
