Inhalt
Korngold in America offers new ways of listening to Viennese composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold's scores to Warner Bros. films, exploring their relationship with his wider compositional output. Drawing on previously unpublished archival materials, the book provides a complete picture of Korngold's film-scoring activities and dismantles many of the myths about the composer. It argues for a reassessment of Korngold, and for a newfound significance for his film scores in twentieth-century music history.
