The second excerpt is an instrumental prelude of suo-na solo with percussion in the background. The transcription shows only the suo-na part. The unit-pattern is composed of four motives a, b, c, and d. Repetition of the unit-pattern takes the form of ||: a-b-c-d:|| which remains unchanged for the remaining portion of the prelude. Variation techniques used are basically those of the pitch-variant type.
