Oetomo Fantasy No. 1: Prelude for Solo Marimba | Robert Oetomo

Fantasy No. 1: Prelude was composed on a sunny winter’s afternoon shortly upon my arrival in Germany from Australia. The title reflects the beginning of a new chapter in my life. ‘Fantasy’ is a musical term used for works that are based on improvisations. The size and scale of fantasies vary from one composer to another. However, fantasies are typically classified as small-scale works. Fantasy No. 1: Prelude is part of 'Four Fantasies (vol. 1)' composed chronologically from 2012 to 2013. The collection is primarily improvisations inspired by emotions or events indicated by the title. Most of them comprise of two contrasting themes.
