Erich Wolfgang Korngold's "Märchenbilder, No. 7, The Fairy Tale's Epilogue, Op. 3/7" is a piece of music that was composed in 1910. It was premiered in Vienna, Austria, on December 18, 1910. The piece is part of a larger collection of works called "Märchenbilder," which translates to "Fairy Tale Pictures." The piece is divided into three movements, with the final movement being "The Fairy Tale's Epilogue." The first movement is titled "The Enchanted Princess," and the second movement is titled "The Evil Witch." These movements are both characterized by their use of rich harmonies and lush melodies, which are typical of Korngold's style. The final movement, "The Fairy Tale's Epilogue," is a slower and more reflective piece than the previous two movements. It begins with a simple melody played by the viola, which is then joined by the piano. The melody is then passed back and forth between the two instruments, with each taking turns playing the lead. As the piece progresses, the melody becomes more complex and the harmonies become richer. The viola and piano play off of each other, creating a sense of tension and release. The piece ends with a quiet and reflective coda, bringing the fairy tale to a peaceful and satisfying conclusion. Overall, "Märchenbilder, No. 7, The Fairy Tale's Epilogue, Op. 3/7" is a beautiful and evocative piece of music that showcases Korngold's skill as a composer. Its use of rich harmonies and lush melodies creates a sense of enchantment and wonder, making it a perfect accompaniment to any fairy tale.
