: Second phrase

Measures  
9 and 10 Repeat measures 1 and 2.
11 An E minor chord is the IV degree of B minor. B major is the relative major key of G♯ minor. The modal interchange between B major and B minor explains the E minor chord. This chord leads to an augmented sixth chord in the next measure.
12 The chord is written as a G dominant chord (G-B-D-F) for the first two beats, but is actually an augmented sixth chord (G-B-D-E#) in the key of B major.
13 to 17 Cadence to B major.
17 to 20 Constant use of E minor, B minor's IV degree.
