0:00-2:40 Suspended Opening Field

The movement begins by making tenderness structural. The first phrases rise, soften, and return without treating any local rest as an ending. The added lower body of the quintet keeps motion under the singing line, so the opening span becomes a field rather than a simple theme statement.

2:40-5:12 Return As Release

Around 2:40, the first large loosening shows how the form works. Gaps and phrase endings do not break continuity; they renew it. The movement keeps returning to the same emotional room, but each return changes the pressure slightly, turning calm into something maintained rather than merely given.

5:12-7:45 Turbulent Center

The quiet seam near 5:12 opens the middle's stronger grip. From about 5:50 through 7:45, the structure tightens: attacks sit closer together, inner motion becomes more insistent, and recurrence stops feeling purely consoling. The same return logic now behaves like compulsion.

7:35-9:04 Broken Recovery

The small breakages around 7:35 matter because the movement has trained the listener to trust continuity. The pattern stutters, reforms, and then enters a more exposed recovery zone between 8:24 and 9:04. Structure here is built from searching: returns arrive, but they no longer feel automatic.

9:04-12:18 Altered Reprise

When the opening world comes back after 9:04, it carries the middle inside it. The phrase law is familiar, but the balance feels more fragile. Drops around 10:30 and 11:30 fold the line inward, and the brief quiet near 11:34 turns recurrence into recognition rather than reset.

12:18-14:44 Final Withdrawal

The final lift around 12:18 gives the ending something to release from. After that, the structure reduces forward need in stages: phrases fall back, resonance becomes more important than arrival, and the last decay after 14:44 lets silence become the final formal event.
