The sole inclusion of Zador is not in itself remarkable when you remember that Ewen's book was, in some degree, an updating of some previous composer biography series. Such revisions often add new material without fully incorporating the changes wrought in our perspective by the passage of time. The wholesale omission of "film composers"was part of the same mindset -- happily absent from today's reference books. And don't forget that Zador, fourteen years senior to Rozsa, did indeed have the more substantial European reputation in the 1920s and 1930s. What is unfortunate about the 1969 volume is the statement that Zador had worked on the film scores including [here the text named 2 or 3 of the Rozsa titles] "which received Academy Awards" (or words to that effect). Since no other composer was mentioned, an ignorant reader would assume that Zador was the the artist who had been honored. Was this an editorial error on the part of the interviewer or compiler or publisher? Or did Zador himself speak misleadingly? We have no way of knowing.
