Hi, Mike. This isn't really an answer to the question, but I do remember an interview Jerry Goldsmith did some years ago around the time he scored "Under Fire," where he was asked about his compositional influences to which he replied 'Isn't it obvious? Berg, Bartok, Ravel and Stravinsky.' As a teenager Goldsmith studied with pianist Jakob Gimpel, who studied music theory with Berg and who I read (somewhere) took Goldsmith through Mikrorokosmos, a six-volume set of piano pieces by Bartok (ranging in difficulty from fairly simple to virtuoso level) and which have been utilized for the study of both music composition and twentieth-century counterpoint. If I were you, I'd look to obtain copies of both this collection and Earle Hagen's Advanced Techniques for Film Scoring, the latter containing one cue from Goldsmith's score for "The Mephisto Waltz," Hagen including it in the book to illustrate advanced (pre-digital era) recording techniques. After studying the "Mephisto" cue, you'll see a correlation between the line writing in it and parts of Bartok's "Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste." Hope this helps. P.S. - Check out mid-eighties interviews conducted with Goldsmith in Mix, Keyboard Magazine, etc. Good stuff, there.
