"Fantasie (2021) is a remarkable composition for solo piano accompanied by a wind ensemble. Although structured in sonata-allegro form and bearing similarities to the first movement of a piano concerto, it defies classification as such. While it showcases a solo pianist with quasi-virtuosic passages, the piece is intentionally approachable, designed for intermediate to advanced-level pianists, departing from the usual concerto spotlight on virtuosos. The music carries a sense of perspective, where the piano seamlessly integrates with the ensemble during crucial moments, contributing unique color and timbre to intermediate-level band works. Without a specific narrative or concept, this composition invites listeners to project their own experiences and emotions onto it, effectively serving as a personalized life soundtrack. Its title 'Fantasie' captures its mysterious, whimsical, and otherworldly essence, akin to contemplating the world from a vast distance."
