Synopsis

Excerpt from Musical Accompaniment of Moving Pictures

That music is an invaluable and necessary aid to the success and enjoy ment of moving pictures, is a fact which no one will deny. But the aecom panying, or illustrating, music must be of the right kind or else its very aim will be defeated. Unfortunately, the right kind of picture music is something that is not universally understood, and the musician, no matter how learned he may be in his trade, is beset by a great many problems, when he attempts to follow and illustrate in music the fast moving film. This book is not intended to exhaust a subject which is almost unlimited in its aspects, but it rather endeavors to lay down a few safe and dependable rules and courses Of action from which any student of these problems may make his own deductions and develop his own personal style. For nothing would be more tedious or impracticable than to attempt uniformity where variety and individuality are the essentials. The most successful and highest-paid player is the one whose style is the most distinctive. When you analyze this distinction, you will find that it is mainly based on certain characteristics of his personality, such as intelligence, quick perception, realization of dramatic values, insight in human psychology, and well-grounded musical technique. But aside from these factors, there is one quality which the player requires above all.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
