Fantasies, Op. 116

The Fantasies (German Fantasien), Op. 116 for solo piano were composed by Johannes Brahms in the Austrian town of Ischl during the Summer of 1892.[1]The set consists of seven pieces entitled Capriccio or Intermezzo, though Brahms originally considered using "Notturno" for No. 4 and "Intermezzo" for No. 7.[2] The pieces were published by N. Simrock in December 1892, and represent the end of Brahms' long break from composing piano pieces.[1] The seven movements are:

Capriccio in D minor. Presto energetico
Intermezzo in A minor. Andante
Capriccio in G minor. Allegro passionato
Intermezzo in E major. Adagio
Intermezzo in E minor. Andante con grazia ed intimassimo sentimento
Intermezzo in E major. Andantino teneramente
Capriccio in D minor. Allegro Agitato
