A quotation about suicide |
| Description: |
A dark, menacing theme later associated with Ursula, featuring a passionate triplet gesture; this theme was previously used by Steiner in Consolation Marriage (1931) to establish an exotic location |
| Analysis: |
The theme is unstable (over a dominant pedal) and chromatic (featuring colorful neighbor chords for the prolonged tonic) |
