A cycle of piano works, consisting of eight fantasias by Robert Schumann. Composed 1838, revised 1850.

The Kreisleriana cycle was dedicated to Chopin, but the title refers to the Kapellmeister Kreisler, who figures prominently in two works by E.T.A. Hoffmann: Kreisleriana (1814) and Lebens-Ansichten des Katers Murr (1820-1822).
