Loop C - constructive period 1
Although there are some minor examples of note-diminution, the main tendency in this period clearly is to have note-addition, building up from the residue of the former period into motif 1. The rhythmic density is not raised throughout this period. Dynamics evolve in crescendo from pianissimo in measure 139 towards forte in measure 144. Accents are added in measure 144 to enhance the inner structure of the measure. The phrasing is not altered in this period. The melodic curve evolves from the repetitive pattern in measure 139 to the superposition of two fluent lines in measure 144. The tempo evolves in an undetermined accelerando in bars 140-141. Additionally in these bars, some note-rotations occur.
