Korngold, Erich Wolfgang (1897-1957) Austrian born composer. A child prodigy whose early successes on the concert stage were matched by his triumphs in Hollywood, where he won Oscars for the scores of Anthony Adverse and The Adventures of Robin Hood.
Autograph Musical Quotation Signed ("Erich Wolfgang Korngold"). One page, 6½ x 4", Vienna, September 1921. Being four measures from Korngold's opera Violanta. Minor toning at edges, otherwise in fine condition.
Violanta premiered in Munich in 1916 (Korngold was only 18!) in a joint performance with his first opera, Der Ring des Polykrates. Although he is best remembered for his amazing film scores, the Korngold legacy does include wonderful chamber music and moving Lieder as well as operas. Puccini said of Korngold, "He has so much talent that he could easily give us half - and still have enough left for himself!"
Estimated Value $400 - 500.
