Description
This leitmotif is first heard in act 1 scene 2.
This motif, sometimes named Kuwenal, represents Tristan (and Kewenal) as heroic and good. The motif if almost identical to that of Ocean or Sailor's Song, but to represent Tristan's higher status, the motif's slightly pompous, yet stately feel, verging on a fanfare.
