The final section is marked 'Adagio', and is similar in character to the first section. This section features a beautiful, lyrical melody that is played over a simple accompaniment. Overall, the 'Fantasia, for violin No. 12 in A minor, TWV 40:25' is a beautiful and challenging piece that showcases Telemann's skill as a composer and his understanding of the capabilities of the violin.
