Danny working at his newsstand |
| Description: |
Over a soft, shimmering cluster, a solo flute enters with the main theme (which doubles as Danny and Peggy's love theme) as Danny sees Peggy approaching while working at his news stand; at first he doesn't recognize her (just a blur); as her face comes into focus, the music swells romantically; this is followed by several statements of the Tone Poem A2 theme in melodic sequence |

| Analysis: |
The first tone cluster is diatonic (01357), followed by a WT cluster (02468); the music then moves towards Ab major with slow repetitions of A2; the cue ends by suggesting a move to D major (which does not occur) |
