62 brings us to the piece’s coda which consists of a series of secondary leading-tone chords with a chromatically descending tri-tone melody. This series of diminished chords, each of which have a D-flat pedal to establish the fact that the work is still in D-flat major, gives us the sense of delaying resolution as they finally move to a V7 and then a I before going back and repeating the descending diminished chord progression with a slightly embellished repetition of the descending tri-tone melody. The beginning of the coda once again shows a notable delay in resolution before abruptly resolving, presenting a V7→I, and then moving back to the unresolved passage of diminished chords before finally resolving to a tonal passage which ends the
