Analysis. — The structure of this song is interesting. With one 

 exception all the accented tones are those of the minor triad B flat- 

 D flat-P, and the song is accordingly analyzed as being in the key of 

 B flat minor, yet the progressions in the last four measures are such 

 as to suggest the relative major chord. Sixteen intervals occur in the 

 song, only five of which are upward progressions.
