The dance is introduced in 6/8 against 2/4 time, before the exposition of a festive theme that alternates bouncing light passages with percussive chords. A more lyrical central episode precedes the recapitulation. The Basque fandango ends always with another dance step: 'Arin Arin' in 2/4, which is here characterized by scales, continuing the piece's joyful and vivacious character.

The writing of this piece arose from seeing Goya's painting Un pavo muerto an unadorned oil painting where a turkey and a wicker basket rest on an indistinct black background.
Fantasizing about making a harpsichord fantasy (I wrote a double stave version of the piece), how to evoke and decline the sensations felt at the glance, musically? Through, I thought, the use of a particularly dark and passionate mode, culturally and emotionally akin to the tones and features of the great Spanish painter's painting. Unlike my usual type of writing, often susceptible to unexpected disturbances, I forced myself to use almost exclusively the notes of the modal scale in different combinations, and in the middle section of the piece to employ them by transforming them into brighter modes (to let some light filter through).
A composition that also features some rather explicit moments of instrumental virtuosity, ideally thought of as possible offshoots of a hellish fandango.

«L'écriture de cette pièce est née de la contemplation du tableau de Goya Un pavo muerto, une simple peinture à l'huile où une dinde et un panier en osier reposent sur un fond noir indistinct. En rêvant de composer une fantaisie pour clavecin (j'ai écrit une version à double portée de la pièce), comment évoquer et traduire musicalement les sensations ressenties au premier regard ? J'ai pensé que cela pourrait se faire en utilisant un mode particulièrement sombre et passionné, culturellement et émotionnellement proche des tons et des caractéristiques de la grande peinture espagnole du maître. Contrairement à mon style habituel, souvent sujet à des perturbations inattendues, je me suis imposé d'utiliser presque exclusivement les notes de la gamme modale dans différentes combinaisons, et dans la section centrale de la pièce, de les transformer en modes plus lumineux (pour laisser filtrer un peu de lumière).
Une composition qui comporte également quelques moments assez explicites de virtuosité instrumentale, idéalement pensés comme des dérivations possibles d'un fandango infernal.»
