| Analysis: |
Modulates from A to C (a chromatic mediant away) in the second phrase; Steiner writes "slow break" right before an unexpected resolution (a Vb9/IV occurs where I is expected) and writes "HEART BREAK (BIG)" right when it happens - pointing out the heart break in the music (when both Leni and David realize they won't get to see Gerald again) |
