• In Response to: Williams "Two note" theme (Mark)

Call me nuts, but I've always thought the two-note motif is slightly reminiscent of Dvorak's Ninth Symphony. What's funny, I knew the score's theme before I heard Dvorak. When I heard the Dvorak my initial reaction was that HE ripped it off from WILLIAMS?
