This is luminous. I love how the strings move with gentle conviction, while the piano offers poetic interjections—improvisatory, musing, touched with quiet melancholy. As a pianist—this sound world resonates deeply. I love your imagination. Thank you for sharing!

Hi Stanley. This is Alexx Antaeus. I love it.

I love how it gets darker and more complex here. It's a beautiful juxtaposition to the romantic beginning.

Sensitive melodic lines, colorful dynamics, rich texture

A rare brilliancy which may become part of the repertoire

Music inspired by the great musical works with the same title by Mozart and Schubert, FANTASY has multiple themes contained within a single movement.  Composed in 2020, after four months of isolation at home in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, I was sorely in need of fantasy. Reality had been too depressing. This music helped to lift my spirits. As music does, it arrived from and sings to another more hopeful place.

Fantasy for Piano and String Orchestra

Stanley Grill is a classical composer whose passion for medieval and Renaissance music has greatly influenced his writing. Two main themes permeate many of his works – music composed in an attempt to translate something about the nature of the physical world, and music composed to inspire and promote world peace.
