The police wagon leaves |
| Description: |
A bold and dark statement of Desperation as the police wagon leaves, taking Henriette to the station; layered over the top of this is Henriette's theme; the combination conveys Henriette's desperation in connection with the Duchess's death; the final chord is held out for a long time under the next scene, in which they discuss how the Duchess died |
