Composed by Nino Rota and conducted by Carmine Coppola. Released on The Godfather Part II OST in 1974 
as track no. 14 `End Title`.

A similar composition to The Godfather Finale, the closing piece to the first movie`s soundtrack, the main
themes of Part II`s soundtrack are combined into one highlight here; The New Godfather, Kay, A New Carpet,
The Immigrant and, lastly, The Godfather Waltz. Transposal from the string, brass and wind sections and 
harpsichord, as well as a transcription of the mandolin part. The latter is played with a continuous tremolo 
for every note and and has some slight, but beautiful ornamentations that were not played during the other
appearances the waltz has made. Standard tuning GDae.
