This is an identical composition to the previous entry, attributed to Klinger under his full name. It serves as a representative example of pedagogical Classical keyboard writing.
At Henle 3 this is a late-beginner piece — comfortable hands-together playing is assumed, and musical shaping starts to matter. The main demands: fine finger independence within the hand; Alberti-bass accompaniment kept quiet and even under the melody; and precise articulation — the difference between crisp and blurred is the piece.
Students should focus on clear finger-independence to ensure the melodic lines remain distinct from the accompaniment.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.
A level or two down with the same spirit — ideal if this piece is still out of reach.
Where this piece's skills lead: slightly harder works making similar technical demands.
Lesser-known works by the same hand, at a comparable level.
Fantasia (Op.2) is rated Henle level 3 of 9 — late beginner repertoire, roughly ABRSM grades 4–5. In the RCM system it corresponds to about level 4.
You should be comfortable at Henle level 3 — meaning you can already play level 2–3 pieces cleanly. Learning it one level early is possible as a stretch piece, but more than that usually leads to months of frustration.
A typical performance of Fantasia (Op.2) lasts about 3 minutes.
Fantasia (Op.2) is available as free public-domain sheet music on IMSLP — the score is linked directly from this page.
