Commentary

A brief through-composed preludial composition to commence the group of pieces in the third mode in Mudarra’s Segundo libro. Venegas de Henestrosa reworked this tiento. See 1557/2, no. 60 [Anglés edition, p. 85, Fantasia VI] , also including material from the Glosa (Mu033). Transposed to the equivalent of A-tuning, the piece is presented almost unchanged as the final 22 bars of Venegas’ fantasia, starting at bar 36.
