Analysis: This transitional passage develops the A2 idea with a rising chromatic sequence and increasing fragmentation (from 9 notes to 5 notes to 2 notes) and acceleration (from mixed rhythms to eighths to sixteenths to 32nds); the other voices accelerate at a different pace, creating various polyrhythms
