| Analysis: |
This cue features chromatic scalar gestures over unstable harmonies, such as the parallel diminished seventh chords in measures 9-11 and parallel half-diminished chords in measures 14-15; the music closely follows the action: harmonic stasis when the running stops in measure 16, a low stinger when Jerry falls in measure 24, a static polychord when the engine enters in measure 30, and so on |
