[net.movies] John Williams' use of themes

otto@whuxle.UUCP (George V.E. Otto) (06/01/84)

There has been some discussion here about the themes John Williams uses in
his recent films.  In one scene in *Temple of Doom* (when Indiana has
retired to his room after a banquet) there is some music that I immediately
recognized as part of a classical composition but I could not place it.
It's a pizzicato piece that I found *very* familiar.  It seemed that one or
two notes were a little different, but basically it was the same piece.
Anyway, the action picked up as I was pondering this and I again focused on
the escapism on the screen instead of the music.  Now I can't recreate the
theme to figure out what it was.

Will anyone else who also notices this please post the classical piece
Williams was using there?  It should probably be part of this discussion.
