Hi, all, Eugene's points are well taken! I stand amended. Omer, I'll see if I can be more helpful this time and take a look at the composers Eugene suggests in the guitar sites to get you some direct links. Maybe Eugene can work on it, too? Best to all, and keep playing, Chris.

I see your point that many rhapsodic bits could be considered as "fantasy" in spite of title, and that the term was perhaps not so commonly used later as it was in the era when purely instrumental music first began moving away from dance forms, but I'm not so certain I would contend that the term fell out of favor in the early 17th c; "fantasy", "fantasia", "phantasie", "phantasiestücke", etc. found occasional use throughout. Consider the occasional lute works by Weiss or Kellner; the fortepiano works of C.P.E. Bach, Mozart, or Schumann; the guitar works by Sor, Coste, Legnani, etc. They're there.
