 The form of this work, with its relatively tight structure (more so than the fantasias of Beethoven and Mozart), was influential on the work of Franz Liszt, who arranged the "Wanderer Fantasy" as a piano concerto, among other transcriptions he made of Schubert's music.The piece opens with a lyrical melody with dotted rhythms that is reminiscent of the Hungarian style.The theme is eventually repeated in F major, before briefly repeating in F minor, and transitioning into a somber, almost funereal, second theme.
