In the beginning of this scene the sound of Nieman's footsteps is the only thing that can be heard this then contrasts with the explosive drumming when he immediately starts to play. The music throughout this scene reflects the emotions of the characters.When the drums become quiet Nieman is calm and sees Fletcher is accepting him. When the drums are fast paced and loud Nieman is angry, the trombone represents Fletcher's emotions. The two instruments have a back and forth conflict as the two characters fight for power.
