  4. 6. Die SonatevomGutenMenschen The Sonata for a Good Man “The film had a secondary title, ‘Sonata for a Good Man’. This underlines what a central theme music is to the film.” - Quirin Berg Producer

  6. 6. Die SonatevomGutenMenschen The Sonata for a Good Man • Semi-discordant • Heavy-handed/unrestrained • Atonal Not a classically ‘beautiful’ piece, but takes on a different definition of beauty

  7. Absence of music Almost as important as its presence? • Every Stasi related scene is accompanied by a lack of music (and colour, and every possible form of art) • Same case for early scenes involving Wiesler • Symbolic of lack of brightness in East German life

  8. 1. Die Unsichtbare Front The Invisible Front 4. DerVerrat The Betrayal 7. IM “Martha” • Key signature of G Minor • First chord =tonic third inversion / Ic • Second chord = A Major • (tonic first inversion / Ia) First chord Second chord

  9. Theatre scene, when Wiesler begins to suspect Dreyman is ‘not as clean as he appears’ • Stasi team bugs Dreyman’s apartment • Wiesler starts to phone the border control to report Dreyman, but stops himself • Grubitz suspects • Wiesler of betrayal

  10. Cadence (Conflicting and eerie chord changes) Ostinato (Constant repetition of a rhythmic motif) Timbre Imitation Suspension = Musical tension

  11. “Film music is no more than wallpaper, filler material.” - Igor Stravinsky Influential 20th Century composer
