Title of the film and opening credits |
| Description: |
A tuneful, legato melody for the opening credits entitled "Dreams"; the cue ends with a peaceful coda with harp arpeggiations over a sustained string harmony |
| Music annotations: |
[m. 24] chorus / a tempo; [m. 57] rit; [m. 63] rall |
| Analysis: |
Both a pencil sketch and an ink sketch exist for this cue; the pencil sketch suggests that the film was originally titled "Cockeyed Youth"; the ink sketch suggests that Steiner may have intended "Dreams" to be a stand-alone fox-trot or serenade; the sketch begins with the verse, but in the film we start with the chorus; in the ink sketch there are two endings for the chorus: this cue uses the second ending, skipping measures 53-56 |
