[Malte Müller]

I still think that WIlliams just had luck and it is not the music itself completely. Because of the huge successes of the movies he got more oportunities to write other themes like Olympics. Also he was conductor of the Boston Pops and had a “platform” for also presenting his themes. And he was much more active in the concert field in general (both activity and writing concert music).

There are and were always a lot of great artists our there – of all genres beyond music – that just were not on the right place at the right time so their works never got the chance to become classics at all. Williams is great but he had a lot of luck.
