Declared a "musical genius" by none other than Gustav Mahler, he displayed a prodigious talent, and had written three operas by the time he was twenty-three.

   Why did Korngold write a symphony?

   • With its strict formal plan and rugged harmonic language, the symphony was self-evidently designed to mark his reëmergence as a concert composer after the interregnum of war and Hollywood. It was not to be. When Korngold sent the manuscript to leading conductors, he was gently rebuffed, as letters in the archive attest.

   What is Korngold's Scherzo based on?

   • The scherzo draws both on the bio-pic “Juarez” and on the musical thriller “Deception,” in which Korngold invents a compositional persona for the malignant genius played by Claude Rains. The finale makes use of a bounding tune from the Ronald Reagan weepie “Kings Row.” Korngold’s craftsmanship is such that the seams are undetectable.
