This one is a bit long! A few questions about chromatic embellishing tones, as well as a few interesting chords! Thank you!

…to the tonic on the downbeat. Perhaps this could be tonic throughout?
…o' that moves up through added notes to eventually reach the tonic in m.4!
… of a dominant chord, but I'm not sure that I hear the G-sharp as a displacement of the third of the chord; instead I think it is more of an anctipation of the upcoming tonic
…%7/v, as we briefly have /v as the tonic. This sounds like an attempt at a cadence, as the dissonant notes in m.8 are familiar to suspensions from the dominant over the tonic. There is a brief articulation of something ending before the next phrase begins with the familiar anacrusis, but I'm not sure if there is a clear cadence of any kind here. Perhaps a plagal cadence which uses ii%7 rather than iv?
…allow the (4) in m.9 to be a neighbor tone and have just III6 the entire measure. M.10 has a vii%7/V in the key of /III
…rt of a stronger cadential echo, which comes to a more definitive close than the previous phrase!
…'ii2' chord can be described as passing tones over the tonic
…hat moves down by step, while the bass A in m.19 sets up a tonicization of /V as ii%7/V
…eturn to the tonic key, as the sequence would occur more readily in G-sharp than C-sharp. The return to tonicizing /iv in m.21 helps get us back to the beginning of this sequence!
…us until we confirm B major with the tempo change in m.39!
…that resolves deceptively to A%7, which could be '#'vi%7/ii or vii%7. The downbeat of m.36 sounds as though it could be a resolution to ii6 with a (2-1) suspension, but the bass then leaps down to A-sharp
…ontrary to the very idiomatic 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 bassline
…but having /bi followed by /bii helps to show the movement up by step!
…we instead resolve to E major in m.52 (/IV). Should we have all of these chords as /IV, or change from /iv to /IV as the G-naturals are replaced by G-sharp?

…(7), or we could consider them to be passing tones and not show them in the labels
…by a (2), or this could be a series of displacements over the upcoming IV7 chord!
…re detail over the V43 chord, or let it all be V43
…vant inversion of these pickup groups: they certainly aren't V, the arpeggiation is clearly shaped like a local I (or here, III), but I can't decide if the bass arpeggiation should be reflected as a literal I6/4 or a basically inversionless melodic group.
…he phrase parallelism with 0-1 and prepare the cadential progression toward /III that happens in measure 10. What do you think?
…ith how this melodic phrase occurs in the following bars. How do you feel about putting the modulation to i a bar later? It's hard for me to hear the same root-position C# minor triad in a different key before the 7th is introduced a bar later.
…upward to the third of the following harmony (36.2). You're right to use the dual label on the downbeat of 36.
…to III that occurs after, could be viewed as a secondary tonicization instead.
… to claim a PAC *on*

V, since this was the full arrival on F-sharp major, but since F-sharp major is abandoned immediately.
…hard to hear as anything other than a momentary cadence, so I've indicated the last 2 beats as a ii-v in vi, but I agree that the downbeat of 140 is a plausible alteration of I so I've added an alternate label.
…scency with the contrapuntal working of beats 1-2, but it sounds like the harmonic rhythms is speeding up into the upcoming half cadence. There's a possibility as well of calling beats 4 and 5 VI64-V6(+6) in the new key of G-sharp, but since we don't have the option for alternate labels in multiple keys I'm not going to put it in for now.

Really good stuff in here, I just changed a couple of peripheral details. See what you think!

hi @Jcheilig ! this came up on my OP feed and I thought to revisit it: do these revisions look ok to you?
