Ex. 10.6 Beethoven, Piano Sonata in C, Op. 53, i, coda

The second issue played out here is the residual canonic treatment of A1 by augmentation and diminution (before the structural cadence) and its post-cadential stretto rectus and inversus and eventual liquidation, explained in Example 10.7.

Ex. 10.7 Mendelssohn, Piano Trio, Op. 66, i, coda, contrapuntal treatment of A1

This process is in manifest dialogue with the B-theme recall, which emerges once the liquidation of A1 has been driven to a textural standstill in bars 380–4. Tellingly, the treatment of A1 is suspended during the structural PAC itself and resumed afterwards. Here, as in the exposition B theme, retransition, and A1 recapitulation, the motivic process and formal strategy are not coterminous. In the coda, they are effectively stratified: formal closure interrupts motivic counterpoint.
