A detailed look at the themes/motifs from the AUJ soundtrack

Hey guys I took the time and made a list with all themes and motifs I could find on THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY SPECIAL EDITION SOUNDTRACK from Howard Shore. I've read very often that people only remember the MISTY MOUNTAIN SONG from the movie as the only new and memorable theme and that Shore only used existing leitmotifs from LOTR. They do use known themes and motifs but there are also a lot more new themes and motifs as you might have noticed yet. Perhaps after reading this post you may hear the CDs again. Here's a detailed list I made few days ago. Most of the names are not official but I tried to use names which actually might be the official ones Howard Shore or Doug Adams would use ;) If you notice something strange or false please tell me:
