- This restatement of the Mother's opening chord provides the vehicle for a sudden shift of tonality to B-flat major and Edward's final answer at the anacrusis to measures 44 and following.
- The first subphrase is a modified inversion of the first measure of the Mother's theme, motives a and b and the first note of motive c, excluding the anacrusis but including the grace note.
- Again they sound at the same speed as in bar 4 (if the two-to-one tempo-relationship is observed), but this time they act as anacrusis to a vigorous statement of ‘c’.
