Wagner Leitmotifs | 5 Longing for Death : Tristan und Isolde @wagnerleitmotifs7654 | Uploaded August 2013 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
This leitmotif is first heard in the prelude to act 1.
This motif represents Longing for Death. It contains that dotted rhythm that appears so often in Tristan und Isolde. The runs upwards are reminiscent of the climax to Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet Overture which was written around the same time.
