Coda - regressive period 2
Although F4 is raised 3 semitones, the main tendency in this period is to have note-diminution building down from the main motif and up to one of the tails of the main motif in bars 193-194. The rhythm is not augmented in this period and remains in 16ths. Additionally, the dynamics don’t change. Accents are added only in the bars linked to the main motif (beginning and ending of the period) and the phrasing is not altered. The melodic curve stays in the capricious character of the main motif throughout the period. The tempo moves up from 84 bpm in bar 190 to 132 bpm in bar 193.
