Description
On-screen: Eddie plays the piano
Description: Eddie plays the main theme from his symphony on the piano at the party; Danny tells him to "play the part I like"; the crowd doesn't pay much attention, with one may saying "it's too ritzy for my dough"
Music annotations: [spotting sheet] Part B / Saidenburg / Ed plays theme on grand piano. Stops as producer enters
Analysis: Although pared down a bit for the piano, this music is identical to the A theme from Steiner's orchestral "Tone Poem"
