David visits an injured Leni |
| Description: |
A British music-hall tune is played as David goes to see an injured dance-hall girl; the cue just uses the music from the chorus, and strays from key to key (so it is not source music) |
| Music annotations: |
[m. 1] mp / Expressivo / mp; [m. 3] rall; [m. 7] This connects to Part 1 / Tell Vito to copy these parts; [m. 9] dolce; [m. 14] enh.; [m. 16] rall |
| Film annotations: |
[m. 1] Muni + Landlady climbing steps; [m. 5] They enter; [m. 14] He sits |
| Orchestration annotations: |
[m. 1] str; [m. 11] fl; [m. 15] fl + cel ? |
| Analysis: |
The first phrase of the tune is repeated up a step (Gb to G major), then fragmented and repeated over a modulation to D major; the final cadence deceptively arrives at chromatic mediant III# (F# major, which is an enharmonic respelling of the initial key, Gb major) |
