The 5th tiento de falsas of Juan Bautista Cabanilles is off the beaten track of his further compositions with this designation. Besides the typical dissonances and unusual progressions in tientos de falsas, this piece for organ surprises with an intricate polyphonic setting. Nearly two thirds of the whole piece can be reduced to a minimum of motivic material, that is presented in continually new facets by canonic voice-leading, sequences and inversion. Yet the rhythmic and melodic structure of this piece of an altogether traditional style is not touched. The effect upon the listener, describable as thrilling or charming - at the same time vexing by the monotony and fascinating by the subtle harmonic graduation of the sounds - proves this tiento as a jewel of a very late manierism.
