Composed by Nino Rota and conducted by Carmine Coppola. Released on The Godfather Part II OST in 1974
as track no. 8 `Remember Vito Andolini`.
Overwhelmingly the melody to The Love Theme or Apollonia, this track ends in a brief segment of The New
Godfather and features an even shorter mandolin part. That is being played with a continuous tremolo. The rest
is transposed from the flutes, clarinet, brass and string sections. Standard tuning GDae.
