Generally when a piece such as this is commissioned for a particular performer, that performer is the only artist allowed to play the piece in public for a certain amount of time. I don’t know that that’s the case here, but it very well could be. 
 
At any rate, I’ll be at the Chicago concert. If anyone here attends, come say hi!

Laugh if you wish, but I’ve already been interviewed for Williams’ obituary by a couple of major newspapers. (This was years ago, so there’s no new prognosticating involved. Just how these outlets operate. It’s still jarring to get the call.)

Not to wade into the modern minefield of Lucasfilm discussion, but isn’t KK referring to the opening trombone figure? (One … and-a-three.)
 
That conjures Indy in just three notes, doesn’t it? 
 
I’m jet-lagged and only watched the video once. So I apologize if I misinterpreted.

Bit of each!

Lol I advocate for EVERYONE learning to read music. But I’m a zealot. And still jet-lagged!

On principle, I never watch YouTube videos where the thumbnail has the youtuber making some stupid ass face like that. That’s how you identify people who just make contrarian opinions for clicks, and they shouldn’t be rewarded. It hasn’t steered me wrong thus far. 

The first third of the film was scored and recorded. The final third of the score was composed but unrecorded (save for mock-ups). The effects-driven middle third of the film  -- most of the island stuff -- was unfinished and (largely) unscored.
 
There were also discussions about an end credits song that would have featured a rather well-known band collaborating with Shore. But that never got past he discussion stage. 
 
Jackson signs off on theme demos before scoring sessions begin, but due to his editing and effects schedules, individual cues aren't generally locked until they're on the stage. Hence the score proper is not really as pre-approved as one might think. Even the final third of the score, while mocked up, was largely based on script and animatics.
 
 

Fair enough Doug but give my best to Shore for this track (it's an obsessive one - both beautiful and typically disturbing)
 

I just love the moment in the Journey Begins when the piano stops playing and you realize that Williams has been creeping up Haydn for the past 30 seconds (and metaphorically the last 30 years).  Just a nice realization that Williams is at home in the "classical big leagues."   
 
Here is the moment, though again, Williams builds to it (and, oh man, that cello in the next two themes):
