Performing Materials: score and parts Composer's Note: A fancy is an English version of the Italian capriccio, a form introduced in the 16th century for works in various media wherein the force of imagination has better success than observation of the rules of art (Furetiere, Dictionnaire universel). The term is also used to describe a suite of dances. Fred's Fancies is a series of six dances that are quite capricious in nature, a fair portrait of the person to whom the work is dedicated. The suite's musical material is introduced in the first movement, an athletic Allegro. The following four movements emphasize some aspect of the first. The second, Waltz, is a quiet variation of the first movement's opening gesture. The third, Manic, combines the opening gesture with a secondary theme emphasizing descending perfect fourths separated by half-steps. The fourth movement, Arioso, re-visits themes from the Waltz, now set in a freer rhythm. The fifth, Favotte, combines elements of the gavotte with fugal episodes. The cycle culminates in a speedy final movement, Vivace, that brings back the all principal themes of cycle.

The Sérénade forms one part of an utterly charming seven-piece collection of solo piano pieces entitled Fancies, which were composed in 1915. The fact that the Sérénade was dedicated to Madame Philippe Gaubert – pianist, and wife of the renowned French flautist, composer and conductor born two months after Grovlez – tangentially tells us something about the potential for the piece to work effectively in its present form. The other pieces in Fancies are Nocturne, Petite Valse, Berceuse, Fileuse, Rêverie and Cake Walk.Former Spartan Press Cat. No.: SP1272.
