Sylvius Leopold Weiss (1686-1750): "Fantasia"

Weiss was one of the most important lutenists of the late Baroque period, and he composed many beautiful works for the lute as well. Some of these have become quite popular among guitarists, although many feel the guitar can't do them justice. I won't take sides in that argument since I happen to play guitar, but I love both instruments!

I play this as a companion piece to Weiss' "Passacaglia." I hope you enjoy it!
