Crowd accuses Frank of murder |
| Description: |
Dramatic underscoring as the crowd rushes to help the car crash victims; Frank looks very confused as the policeman tells him what happened; the music ends with the banging of a judge's gavel |

| Analysis: |
The strings play a chromatic lurching up-and-down figure over a rising sequence supported by dominant b9 chords; as the gravity of the situation sinks in, the texture collapses inwards with a chromatically descending melodic line and a rising bass, and ending on an unstable do7 chord over a dissonant Eb pedal |
