Analysis: |
This tonally stable theme has a clear AABA structure; in a sonata form interpretation of the work's form, the D theme might initiate the recapitulation, substituting for the A theme (which arrives later); the theme features quite a bit of parallel motion (such as the opening I-ii7-iii7-IV7 progression) and uses melodic blue notes; the bridge involves a chromatic sequence using 9th chords; the strings play an active countermelody as the A phrase returns |
