Well we'll have to agree to differ on this one. Perhaps one day someone will tell me what music is filmic and what isn't. Rach 2 was used all through Brief Encounter but it wasn't written to go with a film. So is it filmic, and, if so, what makes it so? Mozart, Piano Concerto no 21, Elvira Madigan? Beethoven 9, Clockwork Orange? On the surface of it, the words meaning is clear, as you've both said. It's not the definition, it's the application. Now tell me what criteria are used to apply it to music...
