ERICH WOLFGANG KORNGOLD was born on MAY 29, 1897 in BRUNN,MORAVIA,HUNGARY.He scored over a dozen and a half scores from the 30's into the 40's.They include, THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER,ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD,THE SEA HAWK,KINGS ROW,OF HUMAN BONDAGE, ETC. Over the decades ERICH has gotten a strong positive response from the scores he did in those 2 decades. Many who have consider them classics of the film music genre. Leaving a sentiment, it is a shame he didn't do a lot more. He passed away on NOVEMBER 29, 1957 at the age of 60.

ERICH WOLFGANG KORNGOLD was born on MAY 29, 1897 in BRUNN,MORAVIA,HUNGARY. Brunn (or historically and today Brno). Actually it belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the so-called "dual monarchy" dominated by imperial (German-speaking) Vienna. The population was mixed German-Moravian-Czech. Hitler infamously annexed the region in 1938 as part of the claimed Sudetenland (i.e., the realm of the Germanic peoples of the Sudeten Mountains). Most of the German population was forcibly expelled after 1945, and today the city lies in the Czech Republic. The abortive spy mission in John leCarre's "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" takes place near Brno. Anyway, the point is that Korngold was essentially a product of German language and culture.
