Fantasia in F Minor
CHOPIN'S Fantasia is one of the most power. ful expressions of the virile, elemental side of his nature.
In it some people find a programme-a quarrel and reconciliation* between Chopin and the novelist, George Sand , by whom he was passionately attracted.
It is, of course, very doubtful if there is anything actually pictorial in the music-anything more than a mere recollection, perhaps, of strongly emotional experiences ; but the strange ardour and restlessness of the music are sufficiently fascinating, without any background of story at all.
