From the rear cover

In this book a leading authority on film music examines scores of the silent film period. The first of three volumes investigating music for film, this thoughtful, pathbreaking study demonstrates the richness of silent film music as it details the way scores were often planned from the start as an integral part of the cinematic whole. Recovering a vibrant and important aspect of twentieth-century music, Music and the Silent Film will interest scholars of film theory, film history, modern music, and modern aesthetics.
