Commentary

Long work: 251 compases of consonancias and redobles style. My division (at fermatas) is into six sections. Other versions may be possible. Episodes distinguished by material. Interesting chromaticism – repetitions of phrase (not consecutive) with different ficta. Plan of work seems to show an attempt at unity, by repetition of section (like at the vend) and repetition of section material in other places. Fairy random structure. Phrases begin in homophony and culminate in sweeping redobles. Sectional repetition at end.
