Incanus 5,714 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Is that Williams' wife beside him?His daughter. She has been attending quite few of these events with him in the recent years. E.g. she was with him in the John Williams Celebration concert at Walt Disney Hall in 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymenard 54 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Oh, but your shoulders are equally as great, John, if not greater, than the shoulders you stand on. And none of your music will ever be forgotten, and certainly never rightfully so.John Williams definitely belongs to the tradition of the great masters and there are some composers who are rightfully considered as "great" that have accomplished much less than him. When some historical detachment will allow it, he will enter the regular books of music history, hopefully along with several other film composers.I'm not sure that having accomplished more has a meaning. In a way that Mahler, Ives or Ravel didn't really compose that much, Ravel has written something like 6 hours of composition in his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Yeah. Maurice Duruflé left very little music, yet I'd call him greater than many very prolific composers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,651 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 There was a recent interview with Daniels that discusses his feud with Kenny Baker, and that sometimes people find him a little bit prickly. But I think mainly the latter comes from his feeling of ownership over the character.If you guys haven't seen it, skip to about the 3/4 point of the StarWars.com red carpet feed and watch Carrie Fisher, Oscar Isaac, and Billie Lourd's interview. Fisher has been on fire during this press tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
