I agree with Thor. However, some are written in a certain (save) format, often for accessible C and C releases. In reviews, it should be about some deeper musical details, in-context use, a deeper understanding of what it does, and overall feeling.
I have had four of my liner notes rejected based on being too comprehensive in addressing all possible aspects, even though I was promised complete freedom and only the limitation of the amount of sentences. Eventually, they wanted a detailed dry analysis of, say, a complete Rambo II, while the film and its use of music required a very different approach. All these cases are almost like a thing I reviewed in recent days: https://www.maintitles.net/reviews/faa-yeung-nin-wa/

https://www.maintitles.net/reviews/la-peau-douce/Unfurtunately he was a composer who excelled in scoring European films, like a majority, and produced little significant music elsewhere, especially as he moved to a different continent.
Two new reviews….
Witold Lutosławski – Suita Warszawska
https://www.maintitles.net/reviews/suita-warszawska/Wojciech Kilar – Lokis. Rekopis profesora Wittembacha
https://www.maintitles.net/reviews/lokis-r-kopis-profesora-wittembacha/On a sidenote, Zygmunt Konieczny is slowly becoming one of my most cherished Polish composers of all times…..
Regarding Penderecki’s scoring tasks…. Yes, he did score https://www.maintitles.net/reviews/rekopis-znaleziony-w-saragossie/, but all the rest is tracked in music. Curiously, Penderecki sometimes called a few talks with a Polish director, making a film, while he was working on an autonome piece, later tracked into the film, a collaboration. And I think these remarks have led to ongoing false information regarding ‘the few’ original scores. However, there a maybe three short films, without a reliable source, or a means to watch them, that could have original scores, but I doubt it.
So yes, Kilar and Preisner.
Concerning Kilar, there are recurring atypical things; minimal, expressive themes, stark conceptual ideas for a lot of smaller films, great waltzes to things of great size and scope. This results in walls of sound/conceptual ideas in König der Letzten Tage, to introvert, sparse, stark and conceptual only music to Góry o zmierzchu.
