Wagner Leitmotifs | 69 Wotan's Love : Der Ring Des Nibelungen @wagnerleitmotifs7654 | Uploaded August 2013 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
This leitmotif is first heard in act 3 scene 3 of Die Walkure.
This motif is a major version of Wotan's Child, played on much warmer strings. This change occurs as Brunhilde pleads that the acted as Wotan wanted, even if not as he ordered, and thus Wotan is mollified and the deep love he has always felt for her returns, quashing the anger. Like Reproach, it contains the Spear motif, counteracted by leaps upwards.
