Symphony in F-sharp major (Korngold)

The Symphony in F-sharp, Op. 40, is the only symphony by 20th-century Austrian composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold, although as a teenager in 1912 he had written a Sinfonietta, his Op. 5. The symphony was completed in 1952 and dedicated to the memory of American president Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had died seven years earlier. The work reuses various themes from the composer's film scores, including the 1939 film The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex.
