Welcome

Originally established in 2001, this website devoted to the Austrian composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold is currently undergoing changes to improve its accessibility.

While in transition, a link to the former main page will be available in order to provide access to previously posted material until such time as it is appropriately redistributed under our new format and structure.

We welcome the comments and feedback of visitors and Korngold enthusiasts.
