| | Karl Goldmark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Karl Goldmark, also known originally as Károly Goldmark and later sometimes as Carl Goldmark, (born in Keszthely, Hungary on May 18, 1830; died in Vienna on January 2, 1915) was a Hungarian composer from a large Jewish family, one of 20 children. |
 | | Among the musical influences Goldmark absorbed was the inescapable one, for a musical colorist, of Richard Wagner, whose anti-semitism stood in the way of any genuine warmth between them; in 1872 Goldmark took a prominent role in the formation of the Vienna Wagner Society. |
 | | Goldmark's chamber music, in which the influences of Schumann and Mendelssohn are paramount, although critically well-received in his lifetime, is now rarely heard. |
