On-screen: |
Title over the image of a dark seascape |
Description: |
Mysterious four-note motif in the low brass announces the film; followed by a dialogue between high and low brass; there is a rising gesture as the words "The Radio Pictures Broadcast Special" appear on screen from left to right |
Analysis: |
Although there is a pedal on E, it is destabilized by the Bb; diminished harmonies prevail |
