The opening credits, in fact - I've just checked! What an iconic score - do you have the whole thing?  8) 8)

You're right... Stupid I didn't look earlier. Great score.

Check this out, btw - http://www.filmscorerundowns.net/herrmann/vertigo.pdf

It's a practically note-by-note account of the score to Vertigo - I'm not exaggerating: everything is accounted for! This site appears to do this sort of thing for dozens of classic films! A slight waste of time - music 'notated' in this way hardly makes for compelling or lucid reading. I'd rather have the score.

I've got the film playing now, actually...  $:)  <---Scottie   :o  <-----Scottie at top of tall building

And the drop of the policeman...

Futile exercise, indeed - like one describing a meal.

Never seen that one (or heard a Hermann score). I should probably be ashamed.

Say yes, Guido - it's a great film, and its great music.

I recognize the tune in Chrone's no. 4 as the "Guadalcanal March" from Victory at Sea by Richard Rodgers.

OK, Sforzando is hanging around, Mark is hanging around, Johan's probably not far away, Guido has been sighted....so more coming up in a few minutes.

All with composers whose names begin with a letter near the beginning of the alphabet...

The most obvious one for me is 311, which is from Leonard Bernstein's score to Wonderful Town. (Wouldn't have expected that to be found in Luke's collection. I trust he recognizes that "football" here is an entirely different game from what we in the U.S. call "soccer."  :D )

And 316 is also Bernstein, from his song-cycle La Bonne Cuisine.

I wouldn't be surprised if the first one was from a Hummel piano trio.

For 313, there was a ballet on Krazy Kat by John Alden Carpenter.

Yes, and of course I do. The rest of the world is well aware that you people use the wrong word. (Though it's a word of English invention, I believe)  ;D $:)

You ought to know by now that my collection includes all sorts of odd stuff!

Yep.

No. (And look at the instrumentation) (and 'Hummel' doesn't come from near the beginning of the alphabet)

There was, and this is it. Well done.

You know no. 307 too, for sure.

Violin - cello - piano. And he comes from the first half of the alphabet, which is what I thought you were doing this time.

Oops - sorry, I missed that post about the beginning of the alphabet and all the other examples!

Ah yes. Must be the Berg clarinet pieces.

Indeed  ;D

There is a piano trio here, of course - 308 - but I hope you don't think it's Hummel. It may well be its composer's most famous work, FWIW - the only one of his that I have a recording of, anyway (actually two), though he's a well-known name. I believe this movement became so famous that it acquired a nickname. Let me check on that.....

Yes, it did, but it includes the composer's name so I can't give it to you! Simply the 'so-called ????? waltz' as my liner notes refer to it.
