Rubric: “This fanatasia that follows is of the same style as the preceding one, using the vihuela with redobles and chords: as I’ve already told you about the style and tempo of these fantasias that should more properly be called tentos: and this one that follows moves according to the third and fourth modes.”

This is another long idiomatic work of 193 compases. On a vihuela in A, the tuning gives G tonality, although quite a bit of Phrygian activity occurs.It is not a very conventional approach to the modes. The work is a loose assemblage of independent unrelated episodes – 9 of them. Some are thematic or sequential or even imitative. All begin with a single idea and then dissolve into a freer kind of consonancias y redobles mixture. This provides the essential unity in two ways: it ensures a textural identity common to all sections, and a basic similarity in dramatic shape of each episode whose culmination is the break into free material.
