Example 5.11

First section (S1) from RH6?s allegro. A repeat sign is used here instead of a written-out first phrase (P1, mm. 104?111) and ?D.C.? denotes a return to the B phrase (in this case P4, i.e. the beginning of S2)

Example 5.14

(a) Alternative spellings for the hexachordal collection of the concluding cadence in D and of the vacillating cadence that follows (corresponding to mm. 120?26);


(b) a hypothetical and schematic representation of the tonal meaning of mm. 120?27. In 5.14a, white noteheads denote the tonic chord in each context; in 5.14b, white and black noteheads represent the real rhythmic values.

Example 5.15

The idiomatic and tonal transformation of the concluding cadences in:

(a) S2, mm. 149?61;


(b) S3, mm. 188?94;


(c) S4, mm. 213?21. Cf. original version of these cadences in S1, ex. 5.11, mm. 120?26

Example 5.16

(a) The finale?s tonal process. White arrowheads signify tonal directionality and white noteheads the tonic or possible perception of the tonic. Dotted stems denote doubtful structural status and dotted beams denote tonal ambiguity;
