The first bowed tones enter from silence with the lower strings already carrying the weight.
A higher line rises out of that bed; the support stays warm and slow underneath it.
The section broadens here, not by striking harder, but by stacking more bow pressure across the strings.
The texture narrows to a more exposed line, with the accompaniment pulled back around it.
Short plucked points start marking the flow, giving the sustained surface a little bite.
The bowing lets go into hanging chords; the sound decays more than it moves.
At the high crest, the upper strings press forward while the lower body keeps the floor rounded.
After that crest, the weight drains downward into a sparer, lower line.
A quiet pulse begins to stir inside the accompaniment; the field is still soft, but it has more tread.
The pulse steadies again under small surface turns; it grips without getting thick.
The swell-and-ease pattern is clear now; each return is soft, but it still resets the ear.
The middle voices warm up the room here, making the lift feel broad rather than sharp.
As the line drops back, the ensemble leaves more air around the attacks.
The surface thins again; long tones carry more of the shape than the pulse does.
The held pressure starts to loosen, and the pattern no longer pulls as firmly forward.
The last decay slips into silence instead of closing with a hard edge.
