Fantasy on Serbian Themes (alternatively known by the shorter title “Serbian Fantasy”) is a piece by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov written for orchestra. Dedicated to fellow composer Alexander Borodin, the piece was composed at the instigation of Mily Balakirev, leader of the Mighty Handful of which Rimsky-Korsakov was a part. Though, Balakirev desired a Pan-Slavic concert and requested Rimsky-Korsakov to compose the Fantasy to be performed in conjunction with Balakirev’s own “Czech Overture” in that concert, Rimsky-Korsakov later asserted that these nationalistic sentiments did not drive the composition of the Fantasy; the credit for inspiration belonged to the innate beauty of the themes themselves. The composer revised the piece, in 1887, to fit it into a new edition from Mitrofan Belyayev’s publishing house.
