Section A: The accents over the repeated notes in bar 1, theme 1, contribute to the confident mood. The crescendo and decrescendo marks in each short phrase of theme 2 contribute to the dramatic effect. Note the accented notes in this phrase. Section B: The dynamic mark mp creates a quiet contrast at the beginning of Section B. CD 1, Track 70 2. The song starts softly, slowly, with homophonic texture, voice and guitar and gentle accompaniment. The singer gets gradually louder (crescendo), the cello is added. By the chorus, voice and cello interact as cello ‘comments’ on the singer’s obsession. Dynamics become louder in second half of song. Accompaniment stronger also. Variation in tempo. Backing vocals added for variety toward the end. Guitar accompaniment is now interesting. Melodic variation, tempo variation. Song ends very softly, with very light accompaniment. CD 1, Track 71 3.
