Supplementary notes:

• Measure 16: The omission of the upbeat measure makes the recall of the spoken text sounds more emphatic, in spite of the subdued dynamics.
• Measures 16–9: The upper voice divides into two parts, the contra-structural E reasserting its highpoint, the C resuming its structural role as neighbor to , reinforcing the effect of a voice distant from our present reality. The neighbor is supported by a plagal motion, identified here as a lower fifth divider, a term which Schenker abandoned but which may be relevant here.
