The third partido is marked "Allegro," and it features a more complex rhythmic structure that challenges the performer's technical abilities. The fourth partido is marked "Andante," and it is a more lyrical section that allows the performer to explore the more melodic aspects of the organ. The fifth and final partido of the "Tiento partido de mano derecha" is marked "Allegro," and it is a virtuosic tour-de-force that showcases Cabanilles' mastery of the organ. The piece ends with a flourish, leaving the listener with a sense of awe at the performer's skill. Overall, the "Tiento partido de mano derecha" is a masterpiece of Baroque organ music, and it remains a popular work among organists today.
