The Fantasies (German Fantasien), Op. 116 for solo piano were composed by Johannes Brahms in the Austrian town of Bad 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's long break from composing piano pieces.[1] The seven movements are:

  1. Capriccio in D minor. Presto energico
  2. Intermezzo in A minor. Andante
  3. Capriccio in G minor. Allegro passionato
  4. Intermezzo in E major. Adagio
  5. Intermezzo in E minor. Andante con grazia ed intimissimo sentimento
  6. Intermezzo in E major. Andantino teneramente
  7. Capriccio in D minor. Allegro agitato
