0:02-1:11 Breath and contract

• The movement begins after a short silence, with strings and harp establishing one slow phrase-world rather than a dramatic entrance.
• The first structural rule is patience: the line rises, hovers, falls back, and teaches the listener that return will matter more than contrast.

1:11-3:34 Altered returns

• The same basic motion keeps coming back, but each return carries a slightly different weight.
• Structure develops by resemblance. A darker harmonic turn, a thicker string body, or a softer decline makes the repeated shape feel newly exposed.

3:34-5:57 Central deepening

• The middle span does not break the gait. It puts more load under it.
• Around 4:45, the ascent presses forward with greater intensity, but the form still postpones arrival through another curve and another settling back.

5:57-7:47 Carried return

• After the central pressure crests, the return feels clearer and heavier rather than reset.
• The phrase-world remains intact, but the line now carries memory of the earlier load, so continuation feels more fragile.

7:47-11:43 Fragility and withdrawal

• Brief internal silences around 7:47 expose the structure without stopping it.
• Near 9:32, accumulated delay concentrates into the final broad release; by 11:28, the ending begins to withdraw instead of resolve by force.
• The terminal silence around 11:43 is not outside the form. It is the last structural event.
