Fantasy in C major "Wanderer" / Piano Sonata no. 18 (D. 894)

Album by Franz Schubert & Elisabeth Leonskaja

Fantasy in C major "Wanderer" (D.760) and Piano Sonata No. 18 in G major (D.894) are piano compositions by Franz Schubert, written in 1822 and 1826 respectively. The Wanderer Fantasy is a largely continuous, single-movement work featuring virtuosic passagework, shifting tonal centres and thematic transformation, while the G major sonata exemplifies Schubert's mature piano writing with expansive lyricism, formal clarity and adventurous modulations that bridge Classical forms and early Romantic expressiveness and mark his development as a composer of substantial keyboard repertoire.
