A one- starts the rocking 6/8 accompaniment, and the singing melody (A) enters. A (B), moving in parallel thirds and sixths, follows. The pair of themes, A and B, comes back, and then once more, with the decoration growing richer each . The 16- rests on a low D-flat in the bass, which no harmony can dislodge.

Section boundaries in music are not always sharp; a transition may be felt over a pause or a held chord.
