In music, a fantasy (or fantasia) is a composition that emphasizes freedom and imagination over strict structure. Unlike forms such as the sonata or fugue, a fantasy often feels spontaneous—almost as if it were improvised in the moment.
A rigaudon is a lively French Baroque dance that originated in southern France (especially Provence). It was popular in the 17th and 18th centuries and often appeared in dance suites.
This piece is whimsical interpretation of a Fantasy and a Rigaudon. The Fantasy is freer and imaginative. The Rigaudon is more structured and rhythmic.
