The Fantasia in F minor by Franz Schubert, D.940 (Op. posth. 103), for piano four hands (two players at one piano), is one of Schubert's most important works for more than one pianist and one of his most important piano works altogether. He composed it in 1828, the last year of his life. A dedication to his former pupil Caroline Esterházy can only be found in the posthumous first edition, not in Schubert's autograph.^[1][2]

Musicologist Christopher Gibbs has described the work as "among not only his greatest but his most original" compositions for piano duet.^[3]
