<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Tchaikovsky orchestrated the '''''Overture-Fantasia''''' (Увертюра-фантазиа) by his friend [[Herman Laroche]] in August and September 1888 ([[TH]] 192 ; [[ČW]] 420) <ref name="note1"/>.<br />
<br />
==Instrumentation==<br />
Scored for piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets (in A), 2 bassoons + 4 horns (in F), 2 cornets (in A), 2 trumpets (in A), 3 trombones, tuba + 4 timpani, triangle, tambourine, side drum, cymbals, bass drum, glockenspiel + violins I, violins II, violas, cellos, and double basses.<br />
<br />
==Movements and Duration==<br />
There is one movement: Vivace, rubatissimo (D major, 734 bars), lasting around 15 to 20 minutes in performance.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Work on this orchestration was begun after the completion of the full score of the [[Fifth Symphony]]. i.e. after 14/26 August 1888 <ref name="note2"/>. According to [[Herman Laroche]]'s note on the manuscript, Tchaikovsky completed the instrumentation on 9/21 September 1888 at [[Frolovskoye]].<br />
<br />
"I don't know if I wrote to you...", Tchaikovsky informed [[Nadezhda von Meck]] on 14/26 September 1888, "that some time ago I promised to orchestrate an overture composed by my old friend [[Laroche]], which he partly through inexperience and partly through ill-health, could not score himself. It is a product of exceptional talent, and demonstrates how much music has lost because this gifted genius man is suffering from a lack of confidence which effectively paralysis his creative ability" <ref name="note3"/>. Further on in this same letter, Tchaikovsky reported that the overture was causing him a great deal of trouble.<br />
<br />
==Performances==<br />
On 5/17 November 1888 at a Philharmonic Society concert in [[Saint Petersburg]], the first performance of the ''Overture-Fantasia'' took place in a concert of Tchaikovsky's works <ref name="note4"/>. It was not a success, in spite of Tchaikovsky's ardent attempts to bring [[Herman Laroche]]'s works to public notice.<br />
<br />
==Publication==<br />
Tchaikovsky's orchestration was published for the first time in 1970, in volume 59 of Tchaikovsky's ''[[Complete Collected Works]]'', edited by Irina Iordan.<br />
<br />
==Autograph==<br />
Tchaikovsky's manuscript score of the arrangement is now preserved in the [[Klin]] House-Museum Archive (a{{sup|1}}, No. 130).<br />
<br />
[[Herman Laroche]]'s sketches for the overture, including Tchaikovsky's annotations, is held at the {{RUS-Mcm}} {{TOW2|g-a-larosh-uvertyura-fantaziya|(Ф. 69, No. 19)}}<br />
<br />
==Related Works==<br />
In some sources the Overture-Fantasia has been confused with [[Laroche]]'s earlier overture ''Carmosine'' (Кармозина), which was not orchestrated by Tchaikovsky (although he did conduct ''Carmosine'' at his last concert on 16/28 October 1893 in [[Saint Petersburg]]).<br />
