The cadences first introduced in the prelude are not resolved until the finale of act 3, and, on a number of occasions throughout the opera, Wagner primes the audience for a musical climax with a series of chords building in tension – only to deliberately defer the anticipated resolution.
As cadencias introducidas por primeira vez no Preludio non resolven ata o final do Acto III, e en varias ocasións ao longo da ópera, Wagner prepara ao público para o clímax musical cunha serie de acordes que crean tensión, só para aprazar deliberadamente a resolución.
