There are two strophes, where a partial line descends in the first, and a simple rising line with ^7 emphasized dramatically (with fermata) closes the second.
At (a), the proto-background frame ^8/^5, as F5-C5 (written). At (b), the frame expands outward with G5 as neighbor; at (c) a firm descent in the cadence, but a wedge is also formed with movement from below A4-A#4-B-nat4-C5. At (d), a reprise of (a) for the consequent, and at (e), the frame is flipped to permit a cadence to F4.
In the consequent phrase of the reprise, note the progress toward the cadence. Overall, the effect is that of the "mirror Urlinie," with descent from ^8 and subsequent return.
