The Double Life of Veronique composer Zbigniew Preisner
Music
The film was scored by Zbigniew Preisner. However, in the film, the music is attributed to a fictitious 18th-century Dutch composer named Van den Budenmayer, who was created by Preisner and Kieślowski for use in screenplays. Music attributed to this imaginary composer also appears in two other Kieślowski films: Dekalog (1988), and Three Colours: Blue (1993). In the latter, a theme from Van den Budenmayer's musique funebres is quoted in the Song for the Unification of Europe, and the E minor soprano solo is foreshadowed in Weronika's final performance.
