Author's Abstract
This work was both difficult and easy at the same time. For a long time I did not work in the cinema. After the “ Romance of Lovers ”, music was written for more than two dozen films, but in most cases it was background music. The happy occasion brought me to the director Yungvald-Khilkevich, who offered to make music for the film version of “The Count of Monte-Cristo ” Dumas , moreover, write lyrics to songs using the techniques of symphonic, electronic and rock music in the film's phonogram. How I did it - to judge you.
