The orchestra notably holds a C major triad as one character in this opera gives his wages to another. One character introduces an important rhythmic motif by repeating "Ja wohl, Herr Hauptmann," and that character traces out a motif consisting of a minor chord with an added major seventh when singing "Wir arme leut!" Act II, Scene 2 of this opera contains a triple fugue, one subject of which is drawn from the passacaglia in Act I, Scene 4. A blood-red moon rises during an invention on the note B in scene two of this opera's third act. That scene precedes an invention on a single rhythm during which the protagonist dances with Margret in a tavern until she notices the blood on his clothes. Earlier, while reading the Bible, Marie asks for forgiveness for being seduced by the drum major. For 10 points, name this Alban Berg opera based on a Georg Büchner play about an alienated soldier.
