The Music

The music (August's Rhapsody) is very interesting.
It involves many classical instruments, such as cello, violin, contra bass, harp, acoustic guitars, and drums. The reason is because the main character is conducting the New York Philharmonic orchestra.
There are some other things that makes sounds in the orchestra other than instruments.In the beginning of the scene, there is some one rubbing wine glasses with water making mysterious sound, and swinging something in the air to make vibration.

The music changes tempo and dynamic throughout the scene. The music starts with 'Piano" in the beginning and changes to "Allegro" and soon it changes into "Moderato". The dynamics and tempo suits the scene. The music describes the feeling of the characters and indicates the essential part of the movie.

The Music is played in C Major.
