| Analysis: |
Most of the content in this cue comes from the whole-tone collection, with a repeated (0268) chord in the brass, parallel major thirds in the upper voices, and an oscillating Bb-G# in the bass; a chromatic upward gesture at the dissolve leads to a sustained diminished seventh chord for the next cue |
