This song doesn't represent the mood and tone of the whole chapter, but it is perfect for one specific scene. This would be the song that I would play if that scene were in a movie. After Joe finds out his dad is dead, he roams the streets desperately lost and not knowing what to do. This song represents that loneliness and despair that Joe is feeling. The tempo is very slow, the tone is minor, and the clarinet has a very wailing sound, all of which combine to make the song sound mournful and sad. The song is also slightly Eastern European (Italian) so it fits in with Joe's ethnic, immigrant background.
