| Analysis: |
In this dynamic and unstable section (similar to the transition section in a sonata form exposition), fragments of the A2 idea are passed around between the instruments (beginning with 5 notes, then just 3 notes of A2); this is harmonized by 9th chords, then add9/add6 chords; Steiner's sketch includes a few statements of the A1 theme as well, but these are not audible in the film's soundtrack |
