Quite right, Dana, but if memory serves Milan introduces the 6 Pavanas
by saying that the next six fantasias are pavanas. The there's the
problem of pavans being generally in duple and some of the Milan
pavanas are in triple.
With deep and abiding respect,

Fantsia is a different beast than a Pavan. Pavan is a dance piece, the
size of the room used by the dancers for their procession dictates how
much music will be needed, sometimes it is good for the band to have a
sequence of pavans ready; perhaps even special pieces for particular
personages in the procession.
A fantasia is a work of art music, some art on the part of the
performer
is expected. This includes the possibility of repeated sections;
however,
I would expect some kind of embellishment on such repeats.
