Loop A - constructive period 2

Although there are a few examples of note-diminutions, the tendency in this period is to have note-addition, leading up to motif 1 in measure 28. The rhythmic density is raised clearly in this period, from 16ths and 16th triplets in measure 22 to 32nds and 32nd quintuplets in measure 27. The dynamics first continue the diminuendo started in the former period, but from measure 24 onward the dynamics move back up in a crescendo. No accents are added and the phrasing is not affected. The melodic curve is filled up through this period and becomes a sort of superposition of the two fluent lines in motif 1. In measure 27 there is a small rotation of Eb6.
