Abstract

Collected with an introductory essay by Daniel Goldmark. This volume contains pieces of music composed to accompany films in the 1910s. The pieces were not composed for specific movies or scenes, but rather supplied the performer with a variety of moods and depictions. The music is reprinted from eight rare sources, and includes pieces by J. S. Zamecnik, M. L. Lake, Joseph Carl Breil, J. Bodewalt Lampe, and Walter C. Simon.
