Overture Fantasy. Composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tschaikowsky. Arranged by Roger Niese. Baton Music orchestral series. Overture Fantasy. Full Score and set of parts. Duration 19:00. Baton Music #BM237-SET. Published by Baton Music (BF.BM237-SET).

The Fantasy Overture Romeo and Juliet, composed in the autumn of 1869, was Tschaikowsky's first orchestral masterpiece.He was only twent-nine years old and still much influenced by Mily Balakirev (1837-1910) who had suggested to compose an overture based on Shakespeare's play. Tschaikowsky completed the score in a few months and he described the resulting work as a fantasy overture in wich the conflict between the Montagues and Capulets is contrasted with the more lyrical themes representing the fated lovers.
