Austro-Hungarian composer (1897–1957) who, after producing much well-received ‘serious’ music, enjoyed great success as a film composer and was nominated for four Academy Awards, winning two. AMQS on an orange 4.5 x 7.5 sheet, signed at the conclusion in black ink. Korngold pens two bars of music from his famous opera, titling it below, “Die tote Stadt.” A handsome matte-finish postcard portrait is affixed to the sheet, which is in turn mounted to a larger card. In very good condition, with creasing and wrinkling passing through, and a lacquer irregularly brushed over much of the page (affecting portions of the musical quote and signature). Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
