	Erich Wolfgang Korngold - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Erich Wolfgang Korngold ( May 29, 1897 - November 29, 1957) was a composer.
		Korngold was born in Brno, Austria-Hungary (now Czech Republic), the son of the music critic Julius Korngold, and studied music under Alexander von Zemlinsky and Robert Fuchs.
		Gustav Mahler, upon meeting the young Erich, called him a "musical genius." He had success in Europe with his opera Die tote Stadt (1920) among other pieces before moving to the United States where he wrote a number of highly regarded film scores.

	Erich Wolfgang Korngold - Biography and Works list
		The elder Korngold was a controversial figure--Jewish, a conservative figure (who abhored atonalism and the whole Second Viennese School), and possessor of an acid-tipped pen in a city rife with intellectual and political ferment and rivalries and an undercurrent of anti-Semitism, Dr. Korngold made his share of enemies with his influence.
		Erich Wolfgang Korngold, the second son, was reportedly beating time with a spoon by the age of three, and playing basic melodies at age five.
		Korngold was in Hollywood for a total of 14 years, during which he scored 17 films, 16 of them for Warner Bros. During that 14 years, the Third Reich came and went, and the world changed, and Hollywood with it.

		Korngold was the son of Julius Korngold, one of the most powerful music critics in Vienna during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
		Korngold's work, with their big tunes, bold melodic statements, and outsized orchestrations that were not only easy on the ear but self-consciously beautiful, all of these attributes an affront to the supporters of the modernists.
		Korngold became one of the most respected and well remunerated musicians in Hollywood, and the financial security that he achieved was welcomed in a world as filled with uncertainty as that of the late '30s and early '40s.

		Korngold's early operas were quite successful, but he achieved his greatest success in a genre that didn't exist when he was born.
		Korngold's success as a film composer was his simple but profound insight that major films were epic in scope, requiring near operatic musical scoring to produce the desired effect.
		Korngold's brilliant insights, he died largely forgotten in 1957 in Hollywood -- seemingly an anachronism in a classical music world where popular success was disdained and listenable music was regarded as a hopelessly outmoded concept.

		Erich Wolfgang Korngold was born in 1897 in Moravia (now part of the Czech Republic) to Jewish parentage; his father was a Vienna music critic.
		Korngold composed his first symphonic music, the Sinfonietta, at just 11 years of age, and was immediately compared to the child-genius Mozart.
		Korngold's attractive, understated music attracted criticism from the musical avant-garde, but he never changed his unique, idiosyncratic style at the request of critics or musicologists.

		Erich Korngold (1897-1957) was born in Brünn, the capital of Moravia, then under the Austrian Empire, today in the Czech Republic and called Brno.
		Erich was just ten years old when he played to the famous composer and conductor, performing at the piano, from memory, a long and complicated cantata which he had written the year before.
		Although Erich was happy to accept Zemlinsky's authority, he nevertheless continued to develop his own independent musical personality, often surprising and even scandalizing his teacher with his daring use of harmony and his highly original concept of form.

		Erich Wolfgang Korngold was, twice over and in two separate areas, one of the most renowned musical figures of the 20th century.
		Beginning at age seven, he was a celebrated performing prodigy, with a level of technical development and an understanding of music that awed such giants of the musical world as Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss, who delighted in his prodigious talent.

	Erich Wolfgang Korngold
		Erich Wolfgang Korngold was born in the Moravian town of Brünn (then part of the Austro-Hungarian empire, now Brno, Czech Republic) on the 29th of May 1897, the son of Julius Korngold, Vienna's leading music critic and an influential member of the central European Jewish community.
		What I find amazing is that Korngold had begun to tackle such operatic subjects before he was out of his teens, and he was actually a late developer puberty-wise.
		Both Mendelssohn and Korngold were wunderkinder born to influential Jewish families, both were precocious in their early compositions, both travelled widely and benefitted from popular appeal and both really failed to placate their worst critics.

		Clearly the dominant factor in the suppression of Korngold's music was the disdain of the art crowd for a composer who wrote movie (gawd!) music, and who wouldn't kiss the book and declare serialism as his personal savior.
		Luckily for Korngold and his fans, as the century nears its end, composition has finally broken the dogmatic bonds of the "music of the future." No better sign exists of this than the renaissance in Korngold recordings in the 1990s, and the respectful if belated rehabilitation of his reputation betokened by a book like Carroll's.
		Korngold was one of the fortunate few who were able to leave Europe, find both employment and artistic nuturing in the US during the war, and return to pick up the threads of his artistic life.

		Korngold père (who had bestowed the first name of one of his own idols upon his son, as a middle name) was no stranger to the guerrilla warfare typical in artistic milieus and knew exactly how to handle this wicked brouhaha.
		In Hollywood, Korngold found the warmest of welcomes from his colleagues in music and from others in the film community.
		It would be, I think, remiss not to recall the wit of this extraordinary man. In 1981 his sons, Ernst and George entrusted their collection of his music manuscripts and memorabilia to the Library of Congress.

	Erich Wolfgang Korngold - classical and film composer
		His father Julius was a music critic in Vienna and the young Erich Wolfgang was a precocious child prodigy impressing composers of the stature of Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss and Giacomo Puccini with his composition skills at age 9.
		By the early 30s, Korngold was firmly on the map as a classical composer of note with a number of operas in the grand Wagnerian style established in the repertoire, and Korngold himself was professor at the Vienna State Academy of Music.
		Some of Korngold's swashbuckler themes can be found on compilation CDs, where "The Sea Hawk" is particularly recommended, as is the double album called Swashbucklers which features a number of Korngold's movie themes and is a great addition to any soundtrack collection.

		During the war years, Erich Korngold almost exclusive composed film music for Warner Bros. His own neo-romantic idiom, an innovation in the early 1900s, seemed dated after the close of the war.
		Erich composed all of his scores sitting at a piano at Warner Bros., and did not use any of the technical devices such as click tracks and other visual aids.
		Korngold's influence is particularly evident in the scores of John Williams.

		Julius Korngold was a musical archconservative and he carefully guided the genius of his second son into respectable forms of musical expression, even while others began experimenting with serialism and jazz.
		When their native Austria was incorporated into the Third Reich, the Korngolds wisely took up residence in America, where Erich earned a comfortable living scoring music for Hollywood blockbusters.
		Korngold was a perfectionist with an almost operatic approach to his film work, but his tonal proclivities and work in popular music ruined his status as a serious musician -- at least in the eyes of the musical establishment.

		Erich Wolfgang Korngold, the son of the leading Viennese music critic, Julius Korngold, was one of the most astonishing musical prodigies of the century.
		Both Puccini and Strauss the dominant influences on his style were admirers, the latter remarking that "this firmness of style, this sovereignty of form, this individual expression, this harmonic structure one shudders with awe to realize these compositions were written by a boy."
		Korngold's first two operas, Der Ring des Polykrates and Violanta, were produced in 1916 as a double bill at the Munich Staatsoper, conducted by Bruno Walter.

		Korngold's music is also, posthumously, partly responsible for the interest in recorded film music today.
		John Williams's debt to Korngold can be seen most clearly in the main title for "Star Wars," in which the theme from "King's Row" is directly quoted, and in the music for "The Sea Hawk," which is in the style that he pastiched so well for his epics of the late '70's and early '80's.
		While it is true Korngold composed his scores without timing aids, this sentence gives the impression that he recorded them "wild," and this is not true.

		A child prodigy, who wrote his first musical symphony at the age of 11, Korngold was born in the town of Brünn in Austria in May 1897 and quickly rose to be world renowned as the most exciting child musician since Mozart.
		Somewhat surprisingly, Korngold scored only twenty films during his career, his last coming in 1956 when he was asked to adapt music by Wagner for a biopic starring Alan Badel.
		Sadly, on 29 November 1957, Korngold suffered a cerebral thrombosis and died at the age of 60.

		In so far as Korngold is remembered these days, it is more as the Oscar-winning composer of 18 Warner Brothers movie scores (notably for films starring Errol Flynn), written during his exile in Hollywood from 1935, than for anything else he produced in the 60 years before his death in 1957.
		Not that either of Korngold's major operas has many affinities with anything Schoenberg was writing by that stage of his life.
		Korngold's operas are emblematic works of the end of an era and tradition.

		Finally, it is worth noting that Previn's recording elsewhere of Korngold's magnificent Symphony in F-Sharp (1950) is nearly as bad as this "Sea Hawk" misfire.

		Once Erich Wolfgang Korngold left his native Austria for Hollywood, film music would never be the same.
		A child prodigy who wrote his first ballet at the age of eleven, Korngold, who was praised by none other than Richard Strauss and Gustav Mahler and had been hailed as a second Mozart, had a prolific talent for composing operas, operettas and huge orchestral pieces.
		Korngold would continue scoring films until 1947, earning further nominations for The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex in 1939 and The Sea Hawk in 1940, strangely enough in the Best Scoring category, which was awarded mostly to musicals.
