0:00-2:58 Slow ground

• The movement begins by establishing a broad, repeated orchestral ground.
• Structure starts as patience: pace, harmony, and weight become the frame before the voice appears.

2:58-4:00 Voice inside the field

• The soprano enters as an extension of the held sound, not as a dramatic interruption.
• The section turns the orchestral ground into a human line while keeping the same slow breadth.

4:00-5:47 Return and heightening

• The middle develops by repeated lifting and settling rather than by sudden contrast.
• Each return makes the harmony feel deeper, so the structure grows by pressure more than by event.

5:47-7:06 Tightened waiting

• The movement narrows as the voice leans harder into the long phrase.
• The orchestra thickens the ground without breaking the tempo, making waiting itself the main force.

7:06-9:21 Late return and withdrawal

• The late rise carries the same motion with more residue, then gradually thins.
• Near the end, gaps enter the sound and the structure releases by careful withdrawal rather than resolution.
