The *Mozart* of filmmusic.
He also admits that he is worried about the Oscars he looses to other composers.
John Williams born 1932 studied music at the University of California in Los Angeles. He joined the Air Force in 1951 for three years, returning to his studies as a pianist at the Julliard School of Music, New York. He was hired by Columbia Pictures in 1956 as a session pianist in film orchestras. He became fascinated with scoring for film and less interested in being a concert pianist so he moved to 20th Century Fox and became involved in arranging and orchestration. As 'Johnny' Williams, he wrote scores for classic TV series. This led onto work with the Director and Producer of 'Lost in Space'. Then came Steven Spielberg and the rest is history...
