774. A Plea for Mercy

774 . A Plea for Mercy

No title. Anonymous female singer. No place or date given. Measures 4-5 are identical with the third and fourth of F-61. There is evidence of some real, economical exploitation of melodic material : measures 8-9 with up-beat, 10-12, 13-14 with up-beat and the transformation of measures 3-5 by repetition and extension into the last four measures with up-beat. No more of the text
could be understood.
