Description: |
An ominous, sinister variant of the Titus motif, using it as an ostinato in the lowest register; we hear this variant as soon as Titus sees Lane, so it represents his intense anger towards her |

Analysis: |
This variant features a new twist in the motif with a return to the second pitch, which creates a retrograde statement following each regular statement |
