Motive. Each of the notes in the melodic descent, G-F-E♭-D, is embellished by a neighbor note: A♭ as incomplete upper neighbor to G; E as incomplete lower neighbor to F; and an alternation of D and E♭, where either note might be interpreted as a neighbor to the other. The D-E♭ motive recalls both the sixteenth-note figuration beginning in measure 1 and the opening notes of the vocal melody in measures 4–5.
