Music annotations: [m. 3] f; [m. 5] (Dust effect) (call me!!)

Analysis: The transition fills in the space between the fanfare and the main theme, with unstable tonality; Steiner adds a dust effect with swirling harp arpeggiations, coinciding with the dust which wipes off the words of the on-screen credits
