Kateryna Shtryfanova: Kompositorische Strukturen der Lautenfantasie als Gattung in der

1. Hälfte des 16. Jahrhunderts^*

Issues pertaining to the criteria governing the genre-specific characteristics of the fantasia and its usage have remained relevant up to today. The characteristics of the fantasia in the first half of the sixteenth century, the period in which the genre’s attributes were first formed, rests on the particular understanding of this genre at that time, which was based on the close relationship between genre, form, and compositional technique. Form as process plays an important role in these earlier fantasias, which vividly characterize this genre’s compositional components through the variety and combination of formal principles. This variety is evident on both the macro- and micro level, in the principles of form themselves, and in the genre’s evolving organization (initial-, middle-, and final sections). A comparison of the fantasia’s form in relation to other genres is also included. Independent of a fantasia’s individual style, a constant dependence on vocal elements with the incorporation of innovative instrumental features is found. A basic convention of the fantasia is thus determined by a complicated yet organized flexibility of form.
