Commentary

Rubric: “Fantasia of the second level [of difficulty]. Mixed mode.” It is a free fantasia “suelta”. Block repetition of the final section is the most individual formal characteristic: that is 81-95 is a repetition verbatim of 67-81. Total length: 95 compases. Its form is a variant of the imitative–free–imitative type. Theme 1 being the opening theme, with cadential formula being theme 2 because of its prominence. Theme 3 is a bass motive with descending sequence of thirds inbuilt.
