From the start, an <elevation>DEF is repeatedly pulled down at its <apex>DEF by descending intervals, first <abruptly>DEF, then after a <staggered>DEF descent.

A new concept is then introduced when <tremolo>DEF is used to prefix <elevation>. This tremolo <causes>DEF a descending <transposition>DEF of <elevation>. It <propagates>DEF to the <apex> of a <transposed> <elevation>, leading to a <<tremolo> transposition>DEF.

The composition then correlates <<staggered> descents>DEF to a <<staggered> <elevation>>DEF as a decomposition of <elevation> into <proto-<elevations>>DEF. The <staggering> is progressively <assimilated>DEF, by analogy, into a descending <<tremolo> <transposition>>, where the tremolo abstracts the <staggered> segments.

In contrast to the preceding essentially descending section, the final section starts with a <<staggered> <elevation>> based on a <rhythmically>DEF repeating <proto-<elevation>>. Then, in total contrast, the final motif starts with a <<tremolo> <transposition>> that pulls down the preceding <elevation>, and then correlates a <<transposed> <tremolo>>DEF to a <proto-<elevation>>. The final motif thus produces an epiphany that reveals simultaneously (a) the <proto-<elevation>> semantics that <tremolo> implicitly acquired when it <assimilated> the <<staggered> <elevation>>, and (b) an appropriation of the preceding <<staggered> <elevation>>, as a <rhythmic> alignment with the latter is revealed in the final motif’s cadence.
