| Analysis: |
Jo's theme is characterized by a four-note gesture that begins with an aspiring leap and uses dotted rhythms; there is a clear tonal center on Ab but the music is richly chromatic; the second chord (A13) is a colorful "Heartstring chord"; in measure 20 the music takes a brief detour to the key of Cb major (bIII); after returning to Ab major, the cue ends unexpectedly in ab minor (with a prominent added sixth) |
