Commentary

Imitative polyphonic fantasia. A quite typical multi-sectioned Milán fantasia, although the first sections show a more studied and controlled contrapuntal technique seems a bit more motet like in places. Thematic relationships are strong. Some themes are merely cadential.
Alternating sections of tight and broad.
