Tweet An Article Concerning Music Played to Pictures

This is an interesting article giving details of some of the music played to silent pictures. It concentrates on cinema organs and has an Australian slant - but does give quite a few of the musical items used.

I found it quite absorbing. Also, one of my bugbears is accompanists missing cues - there is quite a long study featured as to how to play a prize fight gong on a cinema organ!
