<p>Tension is built in the transition section through the use of dissonant chords, imitation between strings and woodwind to build a dominant 7th chord, and a chromatic bass line in the bass and cello, along with an ascending sequence played by strings and woodwind, and the modulation to the relative major and the use of tonic and dominant pedals.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The second subject features a monophonic horn call that is an altered version of the original motif, contrasted by a flowing, conjunct legato string and woodwind melody, with added layers of instruments and chromaticism in the melody to build tension, leading to a tutti and a dominant 7th chord.</p> Signup and view all the answers
