    WILLIAM BYRD.

    The fingering ins measures 39 and 42 is in the manuscript.

    The manuscript presents Praeludium FVB 100 as belonging with the Fancie FVB 52, but no other source mentions it. However, these two pieces sound well, and are often played together in concert.

    Composed between 1563 and 1570, the "Fancie" (Fantasia) is a brilliant example of a piece in free form. The work opensin the style of a contrapuntal fantasia for viols, but the form is expanded gradually by surprising modulations and metricaland textural changes; rhythmical tricks thus appear, and reach an unheard-of complexity for keyboard music of the time. The piece draws to a close in a grand coda where each hand in turn tries to outdo the other in virtuosity.

    Required piece for the International Competition for Early Music YAMANASHI.
