The orchestral introduction of the song no. 2 mm. 1-18 displays the uncertainty of major-minor mode‚ in which the music sounds as if in an F# minor key‚ but the E major chords in mm. 16-18 that proceeds to the A major chord in m. 19 provide a certainty that A major is the actual key of the music (fig. 15)‚ whereas the submediant chord at the beginning of the song obscures the actual key and provides the song a minor flavor.
