The rubric declares that “this fantasia that follow is in the seventh and eighth modes and it has to be played a bit fast. You can also play the fifth and sixth modes in this position as you have seen in some of the previous fantasias. Once again, it is a polythematic fantasia, another work in the same motivic style. This one breaks into five sections, the first of which is very long, shaped from many motives which taken a role equal to that of the free counterpoint and homophony of the section. III, IV, V are also similar. The work has no large scale repetitions. Cohesion comes from motives. Phrases of I are shaped in alternating phrases of upward and downward melodic thrust. A tuning gives F >> B tuning gives proper mode. The sectional divisions are as follows:
I 1-100
II 100-119
III 120-138
IV 139-175
V 176-195
