Notes	In 1934, in the time of Austro-fascism, Korngold received an offer by Max Reinhardt to come to Hollywood. He arranged Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy’s music for Max Reinhardt’s and Wilhelm Dieterle’s film version of Shakespeare’s "A Midsummer Night’s Dream". In 1936 Korngold again went to the U.S. to work for Warner Brothers. Korngold invented the "symphonic film score" and the typical Hollywood-soundtrack of the 1930s and 1940s. He received two Academy Awards for his film scores for "Athony Adverse" and "The Adventures of Robin Hood", two other scores received nominations. After the war Korngold lived and worked in Europe and the U.S.
