The Fantasy includes eight most famous Christmas songs and carols (Stille Nacht - Silent night – Astro del Ciel // Adeste fideles – O come ye faithful – Venite fedeli // Deck the Halls // Tu scendi dalle stelle // O Tannenbaum // Jingle bells // Happy Christmas // White Christmas – Bianco Natale) set in form of theme and variations with two Strette nel finale. T. T. : ca. 13 minutes.
The keys of themes follow a cyclical structure touching on all the notes of the diatonic scale (Fa-F; La-A; Do-C; Mi-E; Sol-G; Si-B; Re-D; Fa-F; and Lab-A flat; Do-C; Mib-E flat; Sol-G; Sib–B flat; Reb–D flat; Fa-F; Lab-A flat in the scoring for wind-band).
The composer of the arrangements has set two versions for orchestra : one includes 1 flute, 1 oboe, 1 clarinet, 1 basson and strings; the other one includes 1 flute, 2 oboes, two horns and strings. He also scored versions for Chorus and Orchestra, for Piano and Orchestra, for Soprano and Orchestra. Lastly, he scored an instrumentation for wind-band and versions for Chorus and Piano, for Soprano and Piano, for Boy voice and Piano.
From 1999 to date the TPO (Turin Philharmonic Orchestra) has commissioned the arrangements for small chamber orchestra of Strauss’ waltzes and polkas including the scoring for 1 flute, 1 oboe, 1 clarinet, 1 basson and strings.
The arrangements were wishfully scored to be performed in concerts like the New Year Concert televised worldwide every New Year’s Day from Wien. The scoring is arranged and designed to allow performances in large cities as well as in smaller towns and small concert halls. A comparatively small number of musicians is required, which means a limited expenditure for a striking success (extra performances were often necessary to satisfy all bookings).
Over six years as many as forty-five orchestrations were scored and many others will be scored so to be able to perform a new programme every four years.

The Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor, Op. 22 by Camille Saint-Saëns was composed in 1868 and is probably Saint-Saëns' most popular piano concerto. It was dedicated to Madame A. de Villers. At the première on 13 May the composer was the soloist and Anton Rubinstein conducted the orchestra. Saint-Saëns wrote the concerto in three weeks and had very little time to prepare for the première; consequently, the piece was not initially successful. The capricious changes in style provoked Zygmunt Stojowski to quip that it "begins with Bach and ends with Offenbach."

Its first American performance was at a New York Philharmonic Society concert, conducted by Theodore Thomas on 13 January 1877.
