\u201cI don\u2019t particularly want to do films anymore,\u201d Williams said. \u201cSix months of life at my age is a long time.\u201d In his next phase, he plans to focus more intensely on another passion: writing concert works, of which he has already produced several dozen. He has visions of another piece for a longtime collaborator, the cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and he is planning his first proper piano concerto.<\/p>\n

This year, he will complete what he expects to be his final two films: The Fabelmans<\/em>, loosely based on Spielberg\u2019s childhood, and a fifth installment in the Indiana Jones<\/em> series.<\/p>\n

The Fabelmans<\/em> has been particularly emotional, he said, given its importance to Spielberg. On a recent day, he recounted, the director wept as Williams played through several scenes on the piano.<\/p>\n

Williams said that he expected The Fabelmans<\/em> would be the pair\u2019s final film collaboration, though he added that it was hard to say no to Spielberg, whom he considers a brother. (Spielberg, for his part, said that Williams had promised to continue scoring his films indefinitely. \u201cI feel pretty secure,\u201d he said.)<\/p>\n
