A '''fantasia''' (also ''fancy'', ''fantasie'' and other variations according to the time, country and whim of the composer) is a piece of music that has no set form or style. As its name suggests each piece is directed more by the composer’s “fancy” or imagination than regard for any form or style. In its strictest sense, as suggested in Rousseau’s  ”''Dictionary of Music''” (1776), a fantasia exists only as long as it is being played during composition – once it is written down, or repeated, it ceases to be a "fantasy" and becomes whatever form it now is.
