  23. Analysis • Introduction: The form of the first thirty-four seconds is repeated twice. The Melody lies in the lower notes being played contrasted with the harmony of the treble clef with the same chords being repeated over and over. The texture remains pure throughout with just the piano playing a simple melody. • About The Middle: The form in this section is different from any of the others previously heard. The trill walks up and down the piano and keeps a very smooth sounding tone. The dynamic does change with the trill, as it goes up and down, so does the p and f. • Ending: The form does gain a harmony again played in the background of just repeating broken chords. The dynamic is extremely pp as it’s beginning to conclude the song. The melody is just simple chording again that eventually comes to a final resolution to end the song.
