Two movements with only a brief pause between.
I. Reconsidering, “In a contemplative mood… a lingering premonition that something may not be what it seems and must be reconsidered on a deeper level.”
II. Amidst Confusion, “An emotional struggle that cannot be easily resolved amidst prevailing confusion.”
