Mercer / Schertzinger

The overall form is 16+16, where the first 8 bars of each 16 are similar (ABA'C structure).

The main feature is a temporary modulation to the key III, which is 4 sharps sharper than the original key. It returns to the original key by changing the III to IIIx, and starting a circle of 4ths sequence.
