6. Sketch the form of the scena and duet from act 3 of Verdi\u2019s La traviata (NAWM 150), providing terms for each section.

How does Wagner use leitmotives to develop the plot in the conclusion of act 1 (NAWM 149b) How does the harmonic language used for the sailors (e.g., at mm. 196\u2013203), \u201cHeil! K\u00f6nig Marke Heil!\u201d) differ from that used for Tristan and Isolde after they have drunk the love potion Why is this contrast appropriate, and how does it heighten the drama <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
