Loop A - regressive period 3

Although there are a few note-additions, the tendency in this period is to have note-diminution towards the residue in measure 48. The rhythm is augmented from 32nd quintuplets-32nds-16th triplets in measure 43 to 16ths in measure 47. At first, dynamics evolve in diminuendo from forte in measure 43 towards piano in measure 45. In the next two measures, they move back up to forte again in measure 47. A dynamic filter in bar 47 brings down half of the notes to niente in bar 48. Additionally, accents are filtered into the phrase in measure 47 to bring out the internal structure. The phrasing is not changed. The melodic curve remains very capricious throughout the period. The tempo is raised from 50 to 66 bpm in bar 47.
