MISCELLANY: “Zahnrad” apparently means “gear” in German. I found the image above on the Wikipedia site for “zahnrad.”

Glass discussed the challenges of composing for Mishima – which he calls a personal musical turning point – during a presentation on Friday night. Writing themes for the film’s complicated narrative developed his “technique of film scoring in a very special way.”
