Winters (musicology, City U., London) examines Erich Wolfgang
Korngold's score for the 1938 film The Adventures of Robin Hood .
He considers Korngold's career in composing concert music, opera,
and film scores, his techniques, his involvement in the studio
system, and the film's critical and historical contexts. He also
addresses the concept of authorship, viewing the Romantic idea of
single authorship as inaccurate, instead acknowledging the role of
the listener in creating a work's meaning. * Reference and Research
