Millions in Business as Usual (1961)
A piano sonata by Josef Haydn and New York City. The first, allegro movement is choreographed by midtown crowds, crossing every which way, often barely avoiding collision. For the long, slow second movement we see quiet, stately buildings, their columns, cornices, portals and ornaments, with only the camera providing movement at times. The very fast, final part is in color, around Times Square, the movement speeded up and frantic.
