Around the time of the Beatles' second tour of America.

That eliminates Korngold.

"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

Indeed. Stylistically he is a sort of combination of Delius, Korngold, Strauss and Scriabin...

It might be Ernst Toch. I don't know his music well enough to make a guess of a particular work.

No. Toch sounds quite different, though he was only a few years this composer's junior.

Someday I'm going to have to play that box set of Toch symphonies I bought years ago. I really have no idea what his music sounds like.

Well, I'm ready to throw in the towel.

I'll think you'll like Toch, Sarge.

Carry on . . . .

I'm sure you must have read his name once. His surname is striking, because we usually don't connect it with music.

Johan, you have us all looking like dunces ;D!

The year range you offer seriously has me scratching my head. I am even willing to throw forth Kreisler, having seen all the reasonable guesses discounted, but it surely cannot be. The late death date is the real stumbling block.

That was a tough one, Johan.

Joseph Marx - from the 90 second excerpt  0:)  - sounds like a real chameleon!  Scriabin-meets-Mahler-meets-Zemlinsky-etc.

Here is a nice website for those who are intrigued:

Atonal honking it is  ;D  This is the conclusion of an inner movement.

He said Bach inspired his atonality. The mystery composer's music is intensely beautiful.
