Franz Waxman. Franz Waxman (n. 24 decembrie, 1906 - d. 24 februarie, 1967) a fost un compozitor germano-american, câștigător al premiului Oscar. Deși a compus câteva lucrări clasice, el a rămas cunoscut mai ales datorită coloanelor sale sonore.
This is the first comprehensive, source-based study about composer Franz Waxman. It focuses on the intermedial transfer of Waxman’s film music and its adaptation for other media (radio broadcasts, soundtrack recordings, sheet music, theme songs, concert suites), but also on his work as a festival organizer and conductor.
In The Spirit of St. Louis (1957), directed by Billy Wilder, Stewart is carried aloft, not only by his replica of Lindbergh’s single engine monoplane, but the heroic, emotional score of Franz Waxman. So much depended on Waxman because of the limited use of dialogue and action, as the story unfolds against the long overwater flight.
Waxman’s score for Rear Window (Paramount, 1954) was actually a brilliant and carefully orchestrated collection of popular songs and melodies designed to provide a backdrop to the action. In addition to the conventional film accompaniment, much of the score is intended to serve as diegetic background music heard in the apartment complex.
