1.2Phrase structure

There are four clear phrases.

Think:

Phrase 1

question

Phrase 2

answer-ish

Phrase 3

climax/high point

Phrase 4

final resolution

That already tells us the arrangement should not treat every phrase equally.

Phrase 3 should probably carry more intensity.

Phrase 4 should feel most conclusive.
