Analysis —This song contains several peculiarities which occur in 
other songs of the present series. Most interesting of these is a 
downward glissando, which followed the tone in the eighth measure 
and the final tone of the song. It is a trailing of the voice which can 
not be indicated by notation. Among other songs containing a 
similar glissando, either during the melody or at the close, are 
Nos. 19, 28, and 29. In this song the compass of the glissando was 
approximately a whole tone. The song comprises two periods of 
eight measures each. This gives an effect of rhythmic regularity, 
but the sequence of measure lengths is different in the two periods. 
A rest occurs at the close of the first period. Other songs contain- 
ing rests are Nos, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 18, 16, 19, 21, 34, 38, 57, 65, 74, 
92, 93, 108, and 104. Syncopations, or nota legato, occur also in 
Nos. 47, 50, 52, 53, 73, 81, 85, 89, 96, 98, and 110. A comparison 
of these three peculiarities in songs previously analyzed is noted on 
page 31.
