I love that! It’s a funny anecdote and very endearing. John Williams is a giant in the industry but didn’t seem to have an ego about himself when it came to the daunting task of scoring such a powerful film.

I think that’s the kind of attitude you’d want from a composer for a film like Schindler’s List. Someone that recognizes the importance of the film and who is going to work their ass off to do the film justice rather than someone waltzing in and treating it like they’re working on a run of the mill movie gig.
