The most famous of the fantasies, the"Wanderer Fantasy", now appears in a separate edition.
While Schubert was playing the Wanderer Fantasy for a circle of friends, he faltered and exclaimed impatiently: The Devil should play this stuff!"
Yet it wasn't the Devil but Liszt - like Schumann a great admirer of the piece - who later arranged the"Wanderer Fantasy"for piano and orchestra and again for two pianos. It was also Liszt who gave the work the nickname it has retained to the present day.
