John Williams: Adventures on Earth (Score and Analysis and Reduction) 

You wisely chose to analyze the 2020 Vienna Philharmonic recording. JW himself regarded conducting this world-class orchestra as the pinnacle of his music career & was deeply moved by the standing ovation that happened at the conclusion of this ET suite. His encore "Imperial March" by his own words was the finest performance of that work. I like your breakdown & it shows the mind-boggling complexity that went into it. Both JW & Spielberg have often shared the story of how JW was struggling to get the music to be in sync with the film (film scoring is a mathematical juggernaut) & after several rejected takes, Spielberg decided to turn off the projectors & monitors so the orchestra could play it uninhibited & he would edit the film to match the music performance. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN & shows the trust between those two legendary collaborators & the power of the cue itself.

I play piano and when we played this for my college symphony orchestra, at 14:39 those arpeggios were literally making me float it was so much fun to play. LOVE THIS PIECE.

Wow - what a lot of work to analyse this and put this video together. Thank you for this. Fascinating.

Thank you! That was very informative! It's fascinating to see your breakdown analysis. ❤

Exceptional work, thank you

Amazing! Great video, Mitchell! 👍👍

Outstanding analysis and effort Mitchell! This is one of the top masterpieces of John Williams IMHO. One question, it has always bugged me in this recording at the end, the 3rd last bar, is it my imagination or does the timpani come in a fraction early?

Wow, the temp is played far slower than the original final cue. Still great! Thank you for the analysis!

fantastic video Mitchell!! Thank you for sharing

This video is Excellent! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Fantastic job on this. Subscribed 👍

Just incredible!!🙃🙃

Cool. Thanks!

Amazing and hard work right there mate

Bar 323 in horns i hear repeat of 321 not going higher. Hm

Thank you

Mitchell, your analysis is as sophisticated and inspiring as the composition itself - take a bow, maestro! I've heard this recording a number of times, and it is superb. One of the little things that have bugged me with the recording, is the ending and timpani. Does the enthusiastic percussionist come in ever so slightly early in the third last bar?

Great work - that earns a subscribe. 👍

This would have been a lot of work, well done!

Great work! Am I correct in analysing b. 105 (p.15), Fig. 12, as Bhalfdim7 rather than Bdim7?

16:01 SCHALLTRICHTER AUF!!!
