A fantasia is a piece of music that does not follow a tight, regular plan. A sonata has a shape listeners can wait for; a fantasia is freer, as if the player is following a feeling or a picture in the mind rather than a fixed map. Composers have written fantasias for piano, for strings, and for whole orchestras, sometimes taking an old tune and letting it wander. The word belongs mainly to concert music — though actually, some people also use it for a show that feels like a dream, because the old idea of “imagination” sits underneath. It is not the everyday word for a ; that word is fantasy.
組成Borrowed from Italian fantasia, “imagination” or a free kind of song; that came from Latin phantasia, and before that from Greek. The same old source also gave English fancy and fantasy (they are doublets).

A traditional festival of the inhabitants of the Maghreb (in northwest Africa) featuring exhibitions of horsemanship.
- As for the wonderful feats of horsemanship one hears of or sees among the Arabs, they are due to sharp spurs like razors, and to bits strong enough to break an animal's jaw. […] The favourite feat at their fantasias or fêtes of suddenly pulling up their horses short while at a hand-gallop, ruins their legs, and there is in consequence scarcely a horse to be seen whose hind-legs are not spavined.
- These fantasias consist of sham fights, the men riding at full gallop at one another, and firing as they pass; the play might have ended more seriously than was intended, for one Spahi had unknowingly a ball in his rifle, which whizzed close to his enemy's head, but the man never winced, or took any more notice than if it had been blank cartridge, and the fantasia continued as before.
