Chapter VII: Section VI: , measures 161-179: Modulates back from E-flat major

to the home key, thus preparing the way for the final statements and conclusion. In measures 175-178 the insistence of the bass on the tone D, the "dominant" of the original key, will be noticed. Such an insistence on one tone is called a "pedal point," because so frequently found in the pedal part of organ music, and serves admirably here to prepare the mind for the triumphant return to G-minor in the final section. The rest of Section VI is made up of sequences, thus: 162-165, 166-169, 170-173; and then, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177, 178.
