This fantasy is a sophisticated example of the 'hexachord' tradition, building a multi-section work upon the rising solmization syllables. It showcases Froberger's mastery of the stylus phantasticus.
At Henle 7 this is a late-advanced work — the technical demands are serious and sustained. The main demands: independent voices that must each sing on their own line; ornaments that need to sound effortless, not squeezed in; and precise articulation — the difference between crisp and blurred is the piece.
Beyond that, expect fine finger independence within the hand.
The performer needs to master the subtle ornamentation to properly delineate the shifting lines within the contrapuntal texture.
