Pretty playful pieces... The Haydn connection: "For his days in Vienna Williams also asked to visit the archive of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde, along with Anne-Sophie Mutter, in order to “pay his respects” to some special fellow composers. There, for much longer than planned, he pored over the scores of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms and Mahler, conducting dialogues with them about corrections or details that stood out far more markedly in the manuscript than on the printed page. Speaking aloud and without restraint, he ruminated on sketches and sketchbooks and philosophized about the technique of committing a score to paper. For his next visit he asked to see Schumann, Bruckner and Richard Strauss." Williams@Vienna_Digitalbooklet_th200429.indd (idagio.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be misremembering but length-wise it looks like the film's short final cue plus the credits suite, in which case I think the Haydn is interpolated as part of the score rather than being particularly distinguishable from any Williams material. I honestly can't recall the melody of the last bit of music before the credits but tonally it was very different from the rest of the score and could definitely have been rooted in something classical, as a nice bookend for the mother. The Haydn piece is certainly enough of a lighthearted allegro to fit the bill, but I really can't say for sure. Whatever it was must have transitioned right into the credits suite, although I imagine they were recorded separately, so that might "solve" the FYC problem. Who knows! In any case, it looks like the opener must be an album arrangement. If so, curious to hear how it differs from any theme variations in Mitzi's Dance and The Journey Begins. I also listened to a recording of that Bach adagio and man, it serves such an effective dramatic function in the context of the film that my brain thought for sure it was Williams scoring that scene. Props to Spielberg for that choice! Piecing the album together in my head only makes the combination of Williams' score and the classical selections more and more coherent. This is going to be a lovely listen. enderdrag64, Once, blondheim and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've learned samples are better "sampled" and picking a couple to hear how a thing sounds, I find forgettable and harmless.

How exciting. You have almost 50 years worth of fanfares, marches and brilliant overtures he wrote for the movies, including quite a few for Spielberg. In this case, it was not the right approach. It's a very personal and intimate project for the director, and Williams agreed that the film needed only a few cues and that the vernacular had to be restrained. He wanted to be respectful because the story is about Steven's family so I can imagine he didn't want to intrude too much. enderdrag64, oierem, Taikomochi and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams@Vienna_Digitalbooklet_th200429.indd (idagio.com) I want to know which other film composers, if any, would go to these same lengths if given the same opportunity as JW. Maybe I’m wrong, but my belief is they do not exist. This is part of the reason I love JW. Not just as a creative human being who bridges two musical worlds, but as the idea of a creative human being who bridges two musical worlds. He’s the embodiment of the intellectual curiosity I would hope to see in the world’s greatest film scorer, if such a person did not already exist in JW.
