Man runs away |
Description: |
We hear a running gesture as the thug runs away after Marlowe's gunshot; as he runs, he jumps over a railing and over a bush; each of these jumping gestures features a quick glissando up and down on the xylophone; after hopping over the bush, the running music continues with a decrescendo as the man gets farther away |
