"A five-note motif in some ways may not be a melody. It may be more of a signal than it is a melody. Melody may need seven or eight or twelve notes to be defined as a melody or to have that effect. But to reduce things down to a very few notes... I find that very difficult to do. Some of these themes that I will write like 'Superman', where you hear it and you hear Superman, probably took me weeks to find. It is a very simple tune but changing things, having it go up, down, less, usually simplifying it... to try to reduce it to an essential message that is more than a signal but less than a melody, that can be done repeatedly in the piece that it will guide people in terms of emotional and character identification... it's fun to do, but it's very difficult. I think that's the hardest part of it all: tune writing, motivic construction, and so on." — John Williams
