Erich Korngold , Miklos Rozsa and Max Steiner.
If Wagner had lived today, he would have been our number one film composer. MAX STEINER All three composers brought their Central European traditions to Hollywood, and to the composition of what
Korngold described as 'operas without words'. Steiner (born 1888) devoted his career almost entirely to film music; but his fellow-Viennese Korngold, and the Hungarian-born Rozsa divided their energies between the film studio and the concert hall.
