Anal>/sis. — This song is characterized by a sixteenth note followed 

 by a dotted eighth, but this combination is used m so many connec- 

 tions that the song can scarcely be said to have a rhytlimic unit. 

 The melody progresses chiefly by whole tones, about 77 per cent of 

 the intervals behig major seconds. The song is melodic ui structure 

 and cojitains the tones of the second five-toned scale.
