Schubert-Menezes:
Phantasynchronies

2024

Flo Menezes' orchestral metamorphosis of Franz Schubert's "Phantasie in F minor" D. 940 (January/April 1828), originally for piano four hands.

Obs.: this work consists greatly on the orchestral transcription of Schubert' piece, but it stays both as transcriptions as well as one of Flo Menezes' works because of its transgressive character as well as because of orchestral interferences by Flo Menezes himself.
