The atmosphere of this Fantasia changes considerably with tempo. It is advisable to experiment with various tempos and select one that feels most appropriate.

In this Fantasia, there are passages where important notes progress stepwise in each measure. Consequently, a somewhat faster tempo can enhance the clarity of the piece. For instance, in measure 10, the initial note in the right hand is A, followed by G in measure 11, F in measure 12, E in measure 13, D in measure 14, and C in measure 15. Although the first note of measure 16 is not H, the measure strongly suggests H, forming the dominant of A minor.

As illustrated by this example, numerous passages feature stepwise descending motion in each measure. Furthermore, harmonic sequences are frequently observed (e.g., measures 56-61).

Both sequences and stepwise descending passages are not necessarily limited to diminuendo; conversely, a crescendo can also be applied. Observe the surrounding context, ensure consistency, and shape the piece accordingly.
