Composer note
My Fantasy is a 12-tone piece, and yet it has a tonal underpinning; it is conceived basically in the key of C. All through the piece there are subtle references to that tonal center, for example, in the numerous dominant-tonic cadences which always bring the music back to the key of C. The result is that the listener can appreciate it as a chromatic piece and yet as one with foundations in a sense of tonal mooring.
