So now let's go back to the intermezzo again. So, as we said, this from 17 to 24.

These eight bars, essentially Brahms used a neighbor tone, repeat and then phase
jump and going down and just with reinforcement of this and then repeats. Moving to
another key, neighbor tone, but a large neighbor tone. Then he goes into a
ascending chromatic scale. What is chromatic scale? That means all the black and
white notes on the piano. So. Where is that from? The idea of the chromatic motive,
first appears in measures 14 and 15. B, B sharp, C sharp during the repetition of
the first eight bars. So let's look at bar 15, with a pickup. Specifically the
inner voice of bar 15. You see here? You are hear that? Now he starts with a bit
lower of a chromatic scale at bar 25. There is a little bit decoration. So. This
chromatic top line seems to lead us back into an original statement of the opening
melody it measures 29 and 30. Yeah not only that he goes with. So the melody goes
like this. Little decoration, chromatic scale. Remember? Then he was afraid that
you might forget where you're from. So the first two notes as repeated four times
in the baseline. First three times A major and then to A minor. So together is. So
up to this point, this is the loudest music we have heard so far. So we could call
it this is our first emotional peak or our first climax. So this through this
chromatic scale. Then something beautiful happens, serene and beautiful. Now this
is a beautiful line, seems new but also sounds familiar. First of all we know it
seems to be familiar. It's like you meet somebody at a party and you couldn't
remember where you have met this person but this person looks really familiar. So
is this a new or old material? Well first we notice that the rhythm is the same as
the melody from the opening bars. Yes. Now is same rhythm. So Wallace the same
rhythm. And the theme is the same as the melody from the opening bars except upside
down. You mean. It comes. So what we call this an inversion which means mirror
image like you can see on the lake the building goes up on the land, in the lake it
goes down. So becomes. This is quite good detective work. Well the connection
between the closing theme and the opening theme is quite obvious but now the
question is, is there an even tighter closer connection between these two themes
that Promise is trying to establish here? Well we'll find out in our next video.
