Description

Penning a quote from his opera ‘Violanta,’ composed at the young age of 17

Austro-Hungarian composer (1897–1957) who, after producing much well-received ‘serious’ music (including the still-important opera ‘Die tote Stadt’), enjoyed great success as one of the most respected and in-demand film composers of the 1930s and 1940s. Nominated for a total of four Academy Awards, Korngold won two. AMQS on an off-white 6.75 x 5 album page. Korngold pens four bars of music and lyrics on two staves from his one-act opera ‘Violanta.’ Lyrics reads, “Ihr liebt mich Mona Violanta (Do you love me Mona Violanta).” Signed at the bottom by Korngold. In fine condition, with some mild toning to edges. RR Auction COA.
