Jonathan Brewster's picture is shown |
| Description: |
When Aunt Abby shows Mortimer the baby picture of his brother Jonathan we hear a dissonant stinger in the woodwinds, followed by a sinister chromatic line in the contrabassoon which winds its way upwards and is slithery, like a snake |

| Analysis: |
The woodwind stinger consists of two dissonant sonorities: (013679) and (01248) [like a diminished seventh and a whole-tone chord with added dissonance]; the contrabassoon melody snakes around a diminished seventh arpeggiation |
