This essay aims to demonstrate the dramatic usage of tonal forces in an unified "tonal field" (as defined by Carl Schachter). In the duet Carlos - Elizabeth in Act II of Don Carlos, Verdi's displacement of a tetrachordal motive in the tonal field of E flat Major causes remarkable effects on the overall development of the drama.
