- Conclusion
The melody to this theme is based largely on a simple three-note motive: starting on Bb, it moves down to the next closest note, A, then returns up to Bb again (beneath the brackets below): Although this motive (what is called a neighbor note figure) includes motion from one note to another, the fact that it returns to its starting point creates th...
The rhythm of this theme also helps us understand why the music works so well with this scene.
