Instance
Theme name: Original Foxtrot
Composer: Ray Heindorf
Start time: 0:29:57
End time: 0:30:04
Total duration: 0:00:07
Page #: NIS
Measure #: NIS
Scene: not in score
Key: Eb
Meter: 2/2
Tempo (bpm): 126
Instrumentation: dance band
Description
On-screen: Peggy dances with Murray
Description: Peggy and Murray's feet dance a foxtrot over a trophy that reads "Strand Dance Hall - First Prize - Specialty Couple Dance"
Analysis: As the dance context montage ends, we hear some transitional music for the orchestra that does not appear in the sketches; this music continues into measure 1 of the sketch and was thus probably written by Steiner to be performed by the studio orchestra (not by Heindorf, who wrote the cues for the dance band only)
