85.110Level 78 — coda should answer the arrangement's larger question
If arrangement moved:
dark→bright,
coda should decide:
stay bright?
remember darkness?
return ambiguous?
Likewise if arrangement modulated:
stay new key?
return original?
leave unresolved?
The coda gives the final narrative interpretation.
