What's the most musically complex piece Williams has ever written?

[Quintus 5,391]

Ah, now I understand.

[Red 73]

Agreed.

Hey I tried, lol.

Okay put it this way. At least the Scherzo can be desribed in just a few words. I'm not sure how one would describe The Arrival of Tink, there's just so much craziness going on, sudden meter and tempo changes, so many different styles, bowing techniques, all changing so rapidly. I can't imagine conducting it. And much of it is "dead hits" that must sync up perfectly with the visuals.

"The Arrival of Tink and the Flight to Neverland" is probably the best definition of (JW) orchestrated chaos that I can think of. The parts when the strings/woodwinds mimick Tinkerbell's flying is just rediculous. Now that I think about it, there is barely any brass in that cue.

Maybe his best strings/winds combo writing ever. At least for a non-thematic cue.

It's that last part of Hedwig's theme,the full blown orchestral part,that nobody seems to get right except the OST

[Ray Barnsbury 8]

As would be expected, Prague performs that section without even an ounce of gusto or urgency. It's actually upsetting to hear.

I'm going out on a limb to say "Arlington" from JFK, is Williams most complex.

That doesn't make it particularly complex.

Yes, of course it is.
