The ladder falls |
Description: |
Mickey-mousing as boy falls off the ladder; long downwards glissando |
Music annotations: |
[m. 103] slow trb glissando; [m. 104] Hugo! One of the Dead End Kids' falls with a long ladder! (This is a comedy fall!) (Full but not too terrific) / A slow trombone gliss [measure drawn in the margin] might be funny |
Film annotations: |
[m. 104] Ladder falls |
Orchestration annotations: |
[m. 103] slow trb glissando; [m. 104] harps etc. gliss / W.W. in chords |
Analysis: |
The falling gesture combines an arpeggiated diminished 7th with a chromatic scale with a wide glissando; the diminished seventh chord pivots to a dominant in C major |
