Smith New York Oxford University Press [2020] xvi, 480 Seiten Illustrationen Oxford cultural biographies Includes bibliographical references and index "During a seven-decade career that spanned from 19th century Vienna to 1920s Broadway to the golden age of Hollywood, three-time Academy Award winner Max Steiner did more than any other composer to introduce and establish the language of film music. Indeed, revered contemporary film composers like John Williams and Danny Elfman use the same techniques that Steiner himself perfected in his iconic work for such classics as Casablanca, King Kong, Gone with the Wind, The Searchers, Now, Voyager, the Astaire-Rogers musicals, and over 200 other titles. And Steiner's private life was a drama all its own. Born into a legendary Austrian theatrical dynasty, he became one of Hollywood's top-paid composers. But he was also constantly in debt--the inevitable result of gambling, financial mismanagement, four marriages, and the actions of his emotionally troubled son. Throughout his chaotic life, Steiner was buoyed by an innate optimism, a quick wit, and an instinctive gift for melody, all of which would come to the fore as he met and worked with luminaries like Richard Strauss, George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, the Warner Bros., David O. Selznick, Bette Davis, Frank Sinatra, and Frank Capra. In Music by Max Steiner, the first full biography of Steiner, author Steven C. Smith interweaves the dramatic incidents of Steiner's personal life with an accessible exploration of his composing methods and experiences, bringing to life the previously untold story of a musical pioneer and master dramatist who helped create a vital new art with some of the greatest film scores in cinema history"-- Steiner, Max 1888-1971 (DE-588)119548895 gnd Steiner, Max 1888-1971 Steiner, Max 1888-1971 fast Film composers United States Biography Film composers fast Filmmusik (DE-588)4017129-2 gnd United States fast Biografie gnd-content u LS 6 USA idsbb FY u LS 7 FILM idsbb FY BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 Stoppsignal FRED nebis DS zbzmon202008f kobe zbzswk202008b salg idszbz Z2 IDSBB A100 A100 100FM UBH IDSBB A164 A164 MAG PSS A 10667 NELA1642008 / 20200521 Dreier IDSBB B400 B400 400H5 BeM RGA 10659 NELB4002009 IDSBB 100 1- Smith Steven C. ca. 20./21.
