Fantasy, op. 57 on the Mad Scene from Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor"
for oboe and piano
by Henri Brod (1799-1838) - French oboist, instrument builder and composer of the early Romantic Era

This work was likely composed soon after the premiere of the opera in 1835 in Naples. It may have been written under the impression made by the phenomenal ability of Fanny Persiani (1812-1867) to whom the opera is dedicated. Edited by Gunther Joppig.
