    (it sounds as if there are)
    Not as far as I can see from the score.

        It's all a matter of the bass line.

          yes well that's what made me think it might be, when listening earlier - I don't have the score
          at some point it sounds like the bass leaps up a fourth, down a fifth, up a fourth, down a fifth etc.
