| Analysis: |
The cue begins with a whole-tone chord and whole-tone arpeggiations over a pedal tone on G and a figure in the key of g minor; after the first bag is thrown, a C42 chord suggests F major (combined with a descending chromatic scale); descending chromatic scales are heard with the second bag thrown, followed by a half-diminished sonority; the third bag that is thrown uses parallel half-diminished 42 chords in descending chromatic motion |
