Polythematic imitative fantasia. A long, rich work of 172 compases yet not extremely difficult tio play. Consistent with Fuenllana’s style. It has great breadth and is one of the few fantasias by Fuenllana with an unusually large number of themes. It is generally one main theme per section but 2 themes occur in sections IV & V. The work is rich in harmonies and irregular suspensions. A couple of the themes (8 + 10) revolve around the frequent descending 3rd motive. Theme 9 is a simple cadential formula. The mode gives repose, but is not particular plaintive. The work is transposed to A final, with mode 4 range & cadences but also several from mode 3 – enough to cause ambiguity.
I (1-46) Theme one treated as melto S – A – T – free – S – A – A – free – B – S – K.
II (46-72) Theme 2 motivic given 6 times in thin texture. From 60 there is a lower voice pair in imit of 47ff. Then free cadential movement.
III (72-86) Theme 3 imit descend motion section acts as a cadence or anticlimax to II.
IV (86-99) Two episodes of bi-thematic voice pairs in almost “network” construction: Themes 4 & 5 S/A/T – T/A/B with outer voice parallel 10ths of 4.
V (99-114) S/A – T/B pairs of 6 & 7 >> K.
VI (114-133) Theme 8 imitated motivic theme functions as intensification of section IV.
VII (133 – 150) Theme 9 – cadential motive made melodically significant through imitative treatment.
VIII (150 – 172) Theme 10 – imitated through to K.
