520    "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"--|cProvided by publisher.
