Have you been studying Chorus Forms? If so, check out what Leonard Bernstein has to say about the same general concept in the "The Unanswered Question, Part 3" from his 1973 Harvard Norton Lectures. Watch from 41:55 to 52:09 and then 57:10 to when the musical example is done.

Special note to 1:02:30 where he speaks of the "Violation of Expectation"
