musica ajena al autor

Spanish to English Art/Literary Music
Im unsure about the use of the word 'ajena' here and its meaning?

Con todo un paso firme hacia el Goya a la mejor banda sonora, a pesar de que uno pueda pensar que la composición puede dar más de sí. Resulta especialmente discutible el uso de **música ajena al autor** en el clímax final de la película.

musica not composed by him, music composed by others

Hi Henry,

This is how I read it. The actual wording would depend on how you went about the rest.

Good luck!

Álvaro :O) :O)

music alien to the composer

Could also be "music that is alien to the composer", depending on the complete phrasing.

The use of another composer's music is strongly/particularly debatable
