Commentary

Rubric: “This second fantasia is made in imitation of another by Francesco da Milano. Mode 5, third level [of difficulty]. This is evidently a parody of an unknown source. It must be assumed that the model is by Francesco da Milano, but no concordance can be found based on the Ness edition. I t is a ong work of 178 compases, very free with countless motives which are not repeated. It is difficult to analyse formally in any meaningful manner. At a guess, for Valderrabano is unpredictable, compases 72-76, 84-90, 160-178, show the hints of perhaps being the imitated material. I have isolated 7 motives which, subjectively, appear to draw attention to themselves. The work proceeds without a break, not strongly emphasizing structure, and has a variety of contrapuntal and idiomatic textures.
