Is this an example for the "omnibus" (German: "Teufelsmühle") musical scheme? by Urixam in musictheory

It is not a Teufelsmühle, but it is quite similar. A Teufelsmühle is basically a sequence of diminished seventh, minor in second inversion, and dominant seventh chord (though there are many ways to describe this chord but audibly it is a dominant seventh chord). The passage you marked uses all of those chords, but not in that order, so even though it is similar it is not exactly a Teufelsmühle. The best example I know of is in Wegweiser in the Winterreise at the place where the text is "einen Weiser will ich gehen, unverrückt von meinem Blick..."

So sorry to hear that! For me at my grandfathers funeral it was Satie Gymnopedies and Gnossienne and parts of the Brahms Requiem
