Music and the Silent Film: Contexts and Case Studies, 1895-1924
Marks, Martin Miller (Assistant Professor of Music, Assistant Professor of Music, Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
Most people's view of silent film music is of a pianist playing old warhorse scores while watching the flickering screen. This highly innovative book shows that there was much more to silent films and that often it was planned from the start as an integral part of the film. The author also convincingly argues that film scores are a major and vibrant part of twentieth century music.
