| Abstract | This book explores the role of music in cinema and the history of its analysis, the latter engaging with the 1947 book "Composing for the Films" by Theodor W. Adorno and Hanns Eisler. The book is notable for having introduced the terms "diegetic" and "non-diegetic" to describe the relationship between music and film narration, deriving from narrative theory. The book is divided into two parts: "Music in the Narrative Cinema", dealing with the history and content of film music analysis since the beginning of film, and "Three Analyses", a series of chapters examining the films Zero for Conduct, Under the Roofs of Paris and Hangover Square according to the framework of the first part. |
