The Duke advances towards the Duchess |
| Description: |
The Duke slowly moves towards the Duchess in a menacing way with glaring eyes; the music grows more and more tense until the Duchess screams and a close-up of her blurs, suggesting a violent end at the hands of the Duke; the music ends with a dissonant sustained chord |
