Karl Goldmark (1830–1915) was a Hungarian-born Austrian composer known for his richly orchestrated works that blended lyrical melodies with vibrant harmonies. Though he wasn't as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, Goldmark made a lasting impact with compositions like his opera *Die Königin von Saba* and his *Rustic Wedding Symphony,* which was particularly admired by Johannes Brahms. His music often reflected a fusion of Romantic and folk influences, drawing from his Hungarian-Jewish heritage. Over the years, his symphonic poems, chamber music, and orchestral works have remained favorites among classical music enthusiasts.
