| Description: |
Turbulent continuation of the "Celebre Romance" theme as men outside cheer the posted news about the war; Steiner writes this cue as a direct continuation of the dotted-rhythm figuration of the third phrase in David's performance |

| Analysis: |
Develops the dotted-rhythm motive within a whole-tone collection; this variant was scored to seamlessly follow the on-screen violin, continuing its melody in the sixth measure of the theme; however, in the film the repeat of the theme by the solo violin was cut (spoiling the connection) |
