| Description: |
A baritone sings Schubert's "Die Krähe" in the other room; this is a minor mode song, accompanied by strings and piano; Schubert's original song was for voice and piano alone, so this setting for strings and piano was arranged; the introduction of the song is cut out, starting directly with the singer as soon as Leni sees David; the musical director's choices for the soundtrack were obviously guided by the concert program which was shown on screen; they cared enough about the veracity of the picture and its scoring to not use any music that wasn't listed in the on-screen program; also, Leni and David talk about the song and its meaning explicitly as they listen in the other room; since they mention a string quartet, it needed to be scored for strings |
