Fantasia 10 (Meyer no. 12)
Both sections use themes in paired counterpoint. Dense contrapuntal texture, especially in
second section. 2b transformation of 1b? "Expressive" semitone / 4th
leap, o4th Bnat/Eb.
Wider harmonic range in second section, reaching relative 'Major'. Numerous cross-relations,
exploiting modal/tonal colour of c- & Eb. Ficta conventions:
b6th, -3/+3.
