Summary

This quote suggests that film music should complement and enhance the cinematic experience without overshadowing the narrative. Just as someone playing piano in the background while one reads a book can create a pleasant atmosphere that doesn't distract from the reading, film music should serve as a supportive element to the movie, enhancing the emotions and atmosphere without overpowering the visual storytelling. It implies that film music should blend harmoniously with the film's drama, adding depth and resonance, but not demanding all the attention.

Now, the vicissitudes that afflict the individual have their source in society. It is this situation that has given currency to the phrase social forces.
