Commentary
An imitative, polythematic fantasia. The first that uses scordatura, with the sixth course lowered one whole tone. The fantasia is of quite regular construction. Voice pairs prevail, there is conspicuous use of parallel 10ths etc, although perhaps less free material within the 102 compases.
• I (1-31) Theme 1 S/A (at 2 semibreves) >> T/B same but T modified >> K then free with suggestions of the theme head.
• II (31-47) Theme 2 S/A – T/B identical pairs
• III (45-70) Theme 3 imit shorter values in theme. Freer imit inc. 10th harmonization of theme.
• IV (71-102) Free extension in short cadentially defined phrases. The most frequently occurring motive that has been labelled as theme 4, but it doesn’t assume an important structural role.
