Cue of the Week: Egon's Decision

This is another cue from last week's featured score, The Penguin Who Wouldn't Swim. This piece takes the same thematic material and recasts it in a more mournful form. The chief technique here is re-orchestration. Note that the cello section lines from The Berg Breaks have been given to high-register piano, and the melody has been shifted from uber-dramatic violins to the more plaintive oboe. (The change from a string section to a soloist also gives the melody a more intimate and personal feeling.)

Egon's Decision

Hope everyone has a happy new year!
