Music in the preview
I thought the instrumental music in the preview was absolutely stunning; can anyone who's seen the film confirm that that music was actually featured in the movie?

I can tell you that the first piece in the preview is an instrumental interlude called "The Chairman Dances" from John Adam's opera "Nixon in China." (http://www.amazon.com/John-Adams-Chairman-Dances/dp/B000005IY2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1270576049&sr=8-2) I am fairly certain that the remainder of the music in the preview is by John Adams, but I can't say for sure which pieces.
I'm not sure if his music is also used in the film (as I haven't seen it) but I sure hope so!
Nearly all the music in the film is John Adams' with a few exceptions. Some of the music used in the film is just sections (for example, the music at the end of the trailer/preview and indeed the piece used at the end of the film is the end of Harmonielehre: Part III Meister Eckhardt and Quackie)
A lot of it is listed here. http://www.we7.com/#/user/view-playlist!playlistId=1086138

I understand someone has made up a compilation album with all the listed tracks by John Adams.
If anyone on the board is interested, send a request to
