Description
On-screen: Boat moves through the water
Description: Spinning, repeating gestures suggest the turning wheel of a steamboat; however, this ocean liner does not have a turning wheel (or visible "Paddles," which is the name given to this music in the cue sheet), so Steiner is not mickey-mousing something physical on the screen; instead it is used to suggest the action of sailing through the water
Analysis: Cascading arpeggiations over a dominant pedal tone; includes some colorful chromatic chords
