Document: Leo Kraft's Three Fantasies for Flute and Piano: A Performer's Analysis. (2010) 111 pp. This document is a performer's analysis of Leo Kraft's Fantasy for Flute and Piano (1963), Second Fantasy for Flute and Piano (1997), and Third Fantasy for Flute and Piano (2007). It is the first published analytical examination of the three fantasies. The aim of the current study is to provide a deeper understanding of Leo Kraft's three fantasies for flute and piano, as well as to
create an opportunity for further exposure and appreciation of these works. The procedure used by the author is a structural and descriptive analysis of the elements of music and of the compositional techniques used in these pieces.
Additionally, an interview with Kraft was conducted and included as an appendix, which provides a more general context through a firsthand glimpse into the life and thoughts of the composer. The First Fantasy is Kraft's first 12-tone work, and is constructed on two
principles, juxtaposition and expansion/contraction. The Second Fantasy is in a
free chromatic style and is more developed than the First Fantasy. It is built upon the development and ultimate resolution of dyadic conflicts. The Third Fantasy, also a free-chromatic work, is nevertheless more diatonic than the Second Fantasy. It is built upon two superimposed chords and triple counterpoint. As the works are of the same genre, but were written decades apart, this investigation can help illuminate general style tendencies pertinent to Leo Kraft's compositional life.
