    "Message to people who come here to insult, tell bad things about Mr Williams or his music, or don't agree with the playlist of this film music medley (YOU ARE PLENTY !!!).
    YOU want to complain about why this composer or this one or this other one is not featured in this video / recording / Tribute / Salute, that this one had an oscar, or two or three or a million and you don't understand why it's not featured. You don't understand why your favorite composer or your favorite movie or favorite tune is not in this Film Medley...
    From now, your comment will be erased. This "Salute to film composers" is available on other channels on youtube, there is even the original version made for the Oscars, so do youself and to me a favor, save my time (and yours) and go writing your negative comments elsewhere, Thank You."

      Actually there was only one Oscar-winning score he didn't take from, and that was Schindler's List. His other original score Oscars (Jaws, Star Wars, E.T.) are all included. His fifth Oscar came from an adaptation of Fiddler on the Roof as I recall, but I don't believe that was an original score Oscar.

      Many of the greats came over after fleeing Nazism. Korngold also wrote “serious” classical music for piano and orchestra but the movie studios paid most of the bills.
      Max Steiner was 9 years older than EWK and came to New York in 1914 working first on Broadway. Considered the father of film music he was also from Austria. His godfather was Richard Strauss and as a young man had private tutoring from Gustav Mahler.
      The “old timers” were a transition from the European classical tradition to American popular music for movies.
