Loop B - loop 4 - regressive period
The figure shows a very short regressive period that is actually the same as motif 4, repeated 4 times (measure 132 until 133). There are no note operations in this period, except for the exclusion of G#3 in the second bar, which is otherwise a copy of the first bar. There is no rhythmic evolution in this period. Dynamics evolve from fortissimo to pianissimo over the four repetitions. The accents, phrasing, and melodic curve all remain unaltered during the period.
