Analysis. — Six renditions of this song were recorded, and in each 

 the time of the second and third measures before the close was a 

 little slower than in the rest of the song, the original tempo being 

 resumed with the last measure, and the repetition following without a 

 pause. The song has a compass of only seven tones, and yet two- 

 thirds of the progressions are downward. The first part of the song 

 is based upon the minor triad B flat-D flat-F but the progressions 

 in the latter part suggest G flat as a keynote, and the song is accord- 

 ingly transcribed and analyzed in that key.
