Erich Korngold was a composition prodigy – only 11 when his first work was performed in Vienna. Aside from his later Hollywood movie scores, it was the Violin Concerto which brought him fame in his time. Franz Liszt was one of the pioneers of the symphonic poem – a piece of orchestral music based on a literary, poetic or extra-musical idea. Of the twelve that he wrote, Les Preludes remains the most popular today.
