Description
Erich Wolfgang Korngold was one of the greatest child prodigies in the history of music.
His early songs, now published for the first time, reveal the young composer's extraordinary talent. Based on the musical language of the late Romantic period, he created a unique world of sounds for Eichendorff's poems: full of melodic expanse, refined harmony and sparkling inventive genius. For the first time, this edition shows the early work of a composer who later became one of Hollywood's most successful composers of film scores.
