[quote="Meesh"][quote="Edward Falcon"][quote="Meesh"]I looooove "The Kiss." I was actively disappointed when the violins were replaced by horns in 2019 and when they didn't take that high note. And I'm a horn player, so that's saying something :lol:[/quote]

I didn’t know that.[/quote]

I've linked to the specific times the theme happens in the scenes:

1992:

2019:

*Says in snootiest voice* [i]As a composer[/i], I try to avoid playing a melody twice in the exact same way consecutively. In 1992, the violinist plays the second line differently from the first, which I find more musical and romantic. In 2019, the line plays twice exactly the same. Also, I don't mind using horns instead of violin per se. Different=/=bad. But I think a solo horn player would have been tonally more appropriate than multiple horns playing together. Solo instruments are better at creating intimacy. It's also not the most emotive key for horns.

I do like that they play around with timing. The theme comes in as Al/Jas withdraw in 2019, as opposed to 1992 using it to build up to the kiss. Makes the moment more sweet-romantic than sweeping-romantic. Both are nice :)[/quote]
