Morceaux de fantaisie is Sergei Rachmaninoff's five-piece Op. 3, a young composer's piano set that moves from Élégie through Prélude, Mélodie, Polichinelle and Sérénade. Its title suggests atmosphere and imagery, but the set is not one single fantasy-form movement. Rachmaninoff composed the set in 1892 and published it with Gutheil in 1893. The set was dedicated to Anton Arensky, his teacher at the Moscow Conservatory. The C-sharp-minor Prélude became the most familiar member, but its fame should not erase the contrasting scale of the other four pieces. Because the catalog title can refer to the whole set or to a selected movement, check the score before describing its contents. A piano edition may simplify or isolate a movement; the historical five-piece structure remains the work-level frame.
