Commentary

The rubric indicates “this fantasia that follows is in the sixth mode and has to be played with a fast beat.” Another polythematic fantasia, but with very little canonic imitation. In the rubric Milan indicates the virtual sameness of the 6th and 8th modes. A tuning give final of C – tuning in E would be authentic. This fantasia has typical construction with dance like theme in middle, block repetitions at the end.
