Rubric: “This fantasia has to beplayed slowly, because it is chordal. Mode 6, third level [of difficulty]”. In the table of contents entry, Valderrábano refers to this work as “de consonancia suelta” menaing that it is chordal (homophonic) and freely composed. It is a through-composed homophonic fantasia with occasional passing notes, forming no theme other than the opening passing note imitations. It explores tonal areas of F, d, a, plus g and C.
