What is this diminished run over B?

I'm trying to train my ears by transcribing phrases from random YouTube videos (well not random, gypsy jazz clips I like), and I ran across this video:

About 13 seconds in, I think the player does an embellished diminished run over B, but I can't for the life of me figure out the first notes (and it's frustrating as hell!). I think it's something like this:

[code]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------ 5 --- 4 --- 7 --- 5 --- 8 --- 7 -
------------------- 4 --- 7 --- 5 --- 4 ------------------------------------
--------- 1 --- 5 ---------------------------------------------------------
--- 2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


---------------------------------------------
------------- 5 h 7 p 5 --- 5 --- 4 --------
-9 --- 8 -------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
[/code]

Is this correct? I am most unsure about the 3rd through 5th notes.
I don't know whether I'll ever be an excellent player if I keep practicing, but I'm absolutely sure I won't be if I stop.

    I think at 13 seconds it is still just the 'head' over the Em chord.

    I have the melody if you want it I can email it to you.

    Join the club! It's a long road as far as I can tell...

    Kudos for attempting that one. I have not had the guts to really try any of the valses yet. Pretty technical but good practice.
