Beschreibung

John Williams is the most famous film composer of all time. He wrote as many universally well-known tunes as the Beatles or Beethoven, if not more; his themes for Jaws, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, E.T., Jurassic Park, and Harry Potter are beloved around the world by multiple generations. This is the first major biography, achieved with unprecedented access to Williams and new interviews with Steven Spielberg and Yo-Yo Ma, among many others.
