That depends on what your definition of "everything" is.

But then again, I suspect Rozsa's attitude (and he was as complex as anyone in concert works) would be that music that REQUIRES 'full attention' because it's 'tougher' is music that has failed.


In Double Life, Rózsa wrote that music for films must be more direct than concert music. Film is a medium that can only suggest or feign ambiguity, as an artistic and creative conceit, and that goes for film's constituent parts, too.
