Work comment

This piece is identical to the Fantasie a-moll för piano 4 händer [Fantasia in A minor for piano four hands]. The title Fantasistykke [Fantasy piece] is applied to the score marked 2:4 a, whereas Hägg uses the title Orkesterstykke [Orchestral piece] for the score marked 2:4 b. The score marked 2:4 c is without title.
