Franz Waxman

About the artist

Franz Waxman (December 24, 1906 – February 24, 1967) was a German American composer, known for his bravura Carmen Fantasie for violin and orchestra, based on musical themes from the Bizet opera Carmen, and for his musical scores for films like the "Bride of Frankenstein" from 1935. Waxman was born Franz Wachsmann in Königshütte (Chorzów) in the Prussian province of Silesia. He orchestrated Frederick Hollander's score for the 1930 film Blue Angel (1930) and wrote original scores for several German films in the early 1930s.
