The Fantasia, Op. 79, No. 1, is very developed, comprising 437 bars and containing all the opera’s main themes, including the essential Triumphal March. Fahrbach prefers to present the numerous themes almost undeveloped, giving the piece a somewhat fragmented feel, as it is divided into as many as 18 sections. However, the beauty and notoriety of Verdi's various motifs, and the perfect writing with well-balanced parts, make it a highly evocative Fantasia that is sure to captivate audiences.
