What is interesting is when Spielberg asked him to compose the score for this film he said he could not and told Spielberg to find someone better. Spielberg replied with "I would, but they are all dead." Such a great backhanded compliment if I say so.

When Spielberg asked John Williams to write the score for Schindler’s List he showed him an early cut of the movie. Williams stood up and walked out of the screening room. He came back in a few minutes later crying and said “you need someone better than me to write music for this.” And Spielberg said, “I know, but everyone better than you are dead.”

Williams has captured the pain and the sorrow of this endless tragedy in this short melody
One of the most moving pieces of music ever created
It's comforting to know I'm not the only one who cries every time I hear this music.
What a brilliant violinist, she makes Williams' composition vibrate with endless emotion.
Everytime I hear this theme I remember that last seen where Schindler collapses asking why he couldn't just save one more. Then the tears well up. It's even more when you look at Spielberg and Williams face like they are back making the movie again and the emotional moment.
The score itself brings me to tears. Adding the backdrop of the movie it accompanied just gives it the gut punch. Together, both film and score are true masterpieces.

John Williams is undeniably the most incredible and amazingly exquisite composer of his generation. Absolutely stunning piece.
You can see and feel all about this in John Williams face. Every muscian know what I mean
Being a musician myself…this truly ranks up there with the most breathtaking music I’ve ever heard !!! Such gorgeous music for such a violent time!!!! Just hearing the 1st 3-4 notes bring my tears!!! Bravissimo John Williams /Spielberg !!!!!!
This piece is like a hand reaching out inside my soul and squeezed the living hell out of my heart. I bawl my eyes out every single time I hear it without fail. The movie is also a masterpiece.
The sheer genius of John Williams....just incredible. Plenty of movie composers....but the depth of his work especially this one...it's visceral and moves you to a whole other plane. You can see him living the music he wrote. Just brilliant.
Gustavo was our conductor in Gothenburg. Regardless of the music he always brought new meaning, new emotion. This is simply sublime.
I have never heard such an emotional piece it would bring tears to anybody's eyes
This score is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard...you can feel the sadness of the whole tragedy in this music..chills everytime
masterpiece by a masterpiece
The man is simply a super hero without a cape, simply put the GOAT of all GOATS
John Williams is to film scores what the Beatles are to pop culture… made all our lives that much better after having listened to them…❤

Hay sentimientos que las palabras o acciones no son capaces de expresar correctamente. La música en cambio puede transmitir de manera total todos aquellos sentimientos. Que curiosa alusión, "es como si el violín llorara". Yo creo que lo que transmite es tan puro y complejo que nos hace sentir eso, como si llorara.
