Polythematic imitative fantasia in mode 3. Typical Milán fantasia of many short ideas following one another. Generally, most of the 9 sections are well connected except from II ➞ III where the logic is less clear, unless it is supposed to be a cadential appendage to the former. The Milán technique of building a contrasting cadence onto the end of a section applies here, and also to internal cadences within episodes VI & VII. The diagram representing the work could be interpreted as a symmetrical construction about V, (tonality) but rather V is the point where the established pattern is broken. Note thematic similarities of 1, 4, 5, 6, 8.
