Commentary

Rubric: The cows with its variations for improvising“ Following the theme, Pisador adds: “From here on are variations”. As in the preceding piece, Pisador’s tablature divides the music into “diferencias” by means of a double bar line. The full piece comprises the simple statement of the them followed by 12 variations.
