Hummel, Bagatelles, op107n6

Hummel's op107 consists of six bagatelles, the last of them a spirited Hungarian rondo. Its theme sits clearly on ^3 in the first strain, which descends abruptly to ^1 in the cadence. The second strain starts by doing the same with ^5 but each of its two phrases takes ^5 upward to ^8 instead. I've isolated these motions in the second strain in the figures below the score.

(second strain, first phrase)

(second strain, second phrase)

The second strain in the theme's final statement, which includes the rondo's structural cadence, is shown below. The strain is repeated in its original form at a & b, then embellished at a1 & b1. Note the considerably more emphatic rising line in b1: ^5 in the first bar, ^6-^8 in the second, ^7 in the third), and ^8 in the last, after a direct motion from ^7. The arrow points to a ^6-dropping-to-^7 figure, which could just as easily have been a continuation up, that is A6-B6-C7, rather than A6-B5-C6.
