thank you, it was informative

[@federicocrosato5352]

Very good analysis! However this recording is imo a bit disappointing..

“What is the conclusion of this analysis?” asked Schöenberg

Hi! Thanks for your analysis, but may I ask what does the orange highlight represent? I usually see it in the accompaniment. Is it some kind of figuration...? Thanks!

[@MarcelSimader]

It's been a while, but from what I remember, I marked it simply because it reappears in many locations. It is more of an accompanying figuration, and consists of a major sixth jump upwards and back down, with an eighth-quarter-eighth note rhythm. I seem to have erroneously marked passages that consist of a perfect fifth jump, or perhaps I considered it a harmonic variation with the same rhythm at the time. So, I would say it is a rhythmic motive.
