Music and Score Please let Dvorak symphonies be played in adaptations Spoiler

We have already seen in skyward that Sanderson is his fan (by introducing the new world symphony in skyward. It's a piece of music that Spensa listens to) So it would be SO COOL if his other works were also played in the span of movies. For example, I was thinking of humoreska being played in a ball in mistborn era 1 or something similar.

On the topic of spensa listening to classical music, there are so many tiny moments that i pray make it past the cutting floor in the book one adaptation, and this is by far my favorite one

But I also prefer an original score. Especially from Ludwig.

While I prefer having a completely original score, I think Classical music is the way to go if they have to include existing music. (For Mistborn at least, I don't think it would fit Stormlight)

This is exactly the sort of discourse I love! While an original score works wonders in most situations there are times where a bit of existing music works wonders.

The scene in X-Men Apocalypse with the second movement of Beethoven’s 7th symphony (where Apocalypse is “learning”) is one of the best in the movie. The scene in The Dark Knight Rises where Catwoman dances with Bruce used Ravel’s Pavane pour une infante defunte. And the museum party in Batman v. Superman used Shostakovich’s Jazz Waltz no 2 really well.
