Thank you, maestro. Well done. As I have mentioned, I’m so very fond of Williams work from the 70s. Williams nails the juxtaposition of pathos & triumph that one should feel at end of a movie about surviving a disaster. If you have a chance, give a listen to his The Poseidon Adventure. Another great one. Seems to my ear he uses similar ideas and colors in a later movie also set in the ocean.

In some ways, I think that I prefer this music as a piano arrangement instead of the orchestral versions (I'm referring to the original soundtrack and the album re-recording, which I think has a minor difference in instrumentation than the soundtrack performance) Has John Williams ever heard your brilliant transcriptions, or do you actually need permission from him or the studios to transcribe? Earthquake is such an underappreciated score, probably because the film, despite its popularity at the time of its release, is relatively unknown today. I was thankfully introduced to it through my visit to Universal Studios, Hollywood back in 1993, and while it would be a few years until I finally glimpsed the film, it was on my mind because of the terrifying moment on the tram ride when you sit through the simulated earthquake sequence. Once I started paying attention to John Williams' music, I finally watched the film, and it was the main title that really grabbed my attention. When I was starting to purchase film soundtracks, and I purchased Varese Sarabande's reissue of the album, I couldn't get enough of the score. I still have it, even though I later purchased the limited edition box set of Williams' disaster film soundtracks, because it has the program for the soundtrack album's second release which omitted one track in favor of the film sound effects from the earthquake sequence and its aftershock; it also combined two tracks into a medley with earthquake sound effects set between the two tracks. In regards to my first glimpse of the movie, it was playing on TV one day, but it was showing the network version, which had additional scenes shot for television distribution. Naturally, when I saw the full movie, I didn't understand why certain scenes weren't there. I didn't understand, nor knew what TV networks did back in the '70s-'90s with movies in order to pad running time (I remember seeing some scenes I wasn't familiar with in Coneheads, when it was being shown on TV as well); using deleted scenes, or filming new segments for television distribution.
