This concerto adopts many themes from his various film scores. The concerto begins with a theme extracted from his score to the 1937 film Another Dawn. While in the soundtrack, it is valiant, the concerto transforms the impression. Played by the solo violin, it's timbre becomes more intimate yet spacious, as if soaring euphorically through the open air. Later in the movement, 1939 film Juarez's love theme emerges as the concerto's second subject. In the film score, the theme is unveiled through an ensemble of violins, creating a classic lush ambience. In the concerto, Korngold once again does a metamorphosis; keeping the instrumentation of violin, he leaves it to only the soloist playing it alone in an octave higher. Juarez's love has now intensified.
