Teachers and students! Not borrowed. This is a school of composition, dating back to Richard Strauss. Nobody can do this score nowadays. Only John Williams, God saves him for a long time...
I doubt that's true and most likely a coincidence, but the resemblance sure is uncanny. But leaps of fourths and fifths interwoven with stepwise motion in Brass will easily sound heroic and similar to every other heroic horn theme
@@niklassimms I’m familiar with the score. Yes, I doubt that’s a coincidence, because that’s similar in more ways than just the french horn line (like in this example)
Thanks for the score. But this is the worst "interpretation" I`ve ever heard. Because there is no interpretation. Each musician just plays his notes... I follow the recommendation of David Hurvitz: Listen to Franz Welser-Möst to see the difference!
This is his masterpiece as far as I'm concerned. The Sinfonietta is safely late-romantic. This piece is highly romantic interwoven with dramatic modernity and chromaticism. Makes it a much more exciting work IMO
@@FreakieFan If you're asking about "sluggish", I'm referring to the performance! The Symphony is a masterpiece, but so are so many of Korngold's other works, including his Violin Sonata, the Piano Quartet, the Piano Quintet, the Lieder des Abschieds, the Violin Concerto, snd whatever of his I happen to be listening to at the moment. I know and like the Schmidt 2nd very much, but the Korngold Symphony is far superior in many ways.
![Symphony No.1 - Henri Dutilleux [w/ score]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/JmqOw-GymkU/mqdefault.jpg)
This symphony contains one of the great Austro-German slow movements. The influence of both Mahler and Franz Schmidt can be clearly discerned.
You can hear elements that he would use in the soundtracks for Captain Blood (1935) and The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (1939).
This Symphony was written in the 1950's.
Mahler’s 20th symphony be like
0:00 Ⅰ
16:20 Ⅱ
26:26 Ⅲ
41:35 Ⅳ
The Symphony is in F sharp major, not minor.
OBVIOUSLY!!!! JEEEBUS!
If I didn't listen to classical music I would've thought this was Star Wars
John Williams borrowed A LOT of Korngold.

@@MrRbjunior83 all of the above.
@@richardthomashill"Borrowed" is a generous term. Let's not forget his "borrowing" of Holst's Mars.... 😂
Heroic theme played by French Horns in 2nd Movement is what the Star Wars theme is based on.
You're talking about 18:02??

@@FreakieFanlisten to Korngold's Kings Row and you'll see that it's most likely not a coincidence

GROMADNOE SPASIBO!!!
How much chromatisism do u want.
Korngold: *JA.*
as chromatic as one can be without getting atonal
It is Chromosomautismizmised
@@haomingli6175 He is perhaps chromatic-curious

Not one of Korngold's best works. He did a better job with the Op5 Sinfonietta. Franz Schmidt's 2nd Symphony is streets ahead of this later Korngold.
Nah. Each of your 3 sentences is wrong.
In fairness to you, this is a rather sluggish first movement compared with Kempe and many others I own on CD.
