Trained by the great classical music composers Johannes Brahms and Robert Fuchs, he was a music prodigy who conducted his first operetta when he was 12 and became a full-time professional, either composing, arranging or conducting, when he was 15. He worked in England then on Broadway and moved to Hollywood in 1929, where he became one of the first composers to write music scores for motion pictures. Steiner is referred to as "the father of film music" and is considered one of the greatest film score composers in the history of cinema. Along with such composers as Franz Waxman, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Alfred Newman and Miklós Rózsa, Steiner played a major part in creating the tradition of writing music for films.
