Musique Fantastique

Because of the comprehensive commentary with which the author has lent to his analysis of fantastic film music, chapters have been divided into numerous subsections, running from a couple of paragraphs to dozens of pages, covering specific topics, composers, or films. For reasons of space, the books’ Table of Contents is limited to chapter titles only. To provide a broader look at the scope of the book, this expanded Table of Contents is provided to denote the individual subsections that occupy each chapter.
