Commentary

Rubric: “This next tiento goes by the rules of the fifth and sixth modes: and it has to be played not toofast and not too slow, but with the tempo that have already explained goes with this kind of music”.

Another long work of 202 compases. Typically sectional and episodic with fermata divided episodes and phrases. This one however, like the first, doesn’t sectionally divide at every fermata e.g. Section I is 42 compases & contains 4 fermata divided free phrases occur. Sectional identity in the free homophony passing to redoble to cadence.
