Schnitzler, Conrad
Filmmusik 2
Shortly after we released "Filmmusik 1", Jin Kawai, curator of the official Schnitzler website www.fancymoon.com, contacted us to set us right. In 2009, whilst sorting through reels of film (some shot by Schnitzler himself) and music to upload to the site, Kawai was particularly drawn to one piece entitled "Gute Fahrt". Were there any more tracks like this? Schnitzler told him there were and sent Kawai all of the other recordings. One half of "Filmmusik 2" comprises tracks from the 1975 series, the other half is a 23 minute piece with the title "Lichtpunkte und schwarze Zeichen". This music was actually written for a film (which can also be found on the internet, naturally) in 1978. We were delighted to find it in 2015 and enthusiastically searched the Schnitzler archives for more of the same. This led us to the (in some cases, incorrectly labelled) 1975 recordings and the rest is history ...
