Analysis: |
Starting out with a fanfare in b minor (theme X), this cue soon becomes unstable with the use of chromatic parallelism in the accompaniment; in the A part (the first 16 measures) theme X is transposed and transformed (altered intervallically and rhythmically) over parallel diminished seventh chords and parallel minor triads in the lower voices; in the B part (the next 8 measures), theme X is transformed through rhythmic diminution and alternates with a contrasting Y theme that features a hemiola pattern; in the final C part, fragments of theme X appear over an accompaniment that fluctuates between diatonic and whole-tone collections, ending with whole-tone melodic gesture in the solo violin |
