Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each question.

Accustomed though we are to speaking of the films made before 1927 as “silent”, the film
has never been, in the full sense of the word, silent. From the very beginning, music was
regarded as an indispensable accompaniment; when the Lumiere films were shown at the
first public film exhibition in the United States in February 1896, they were accompanied
by piano improvisations on popular tunes. At first, the music played bore no special
relationship to the films; an accompaniment of any kind was sufficient.

Within a very short time, however, the incongruity of playing lively music to a solemn
film became apparent, and film pianists began to take some care in matching their pieces
to the mood of the film.

As movie theaters grew in number and importance, a violinist, and perhaps a cellist, would
be added to the pianist in certain cases, and in the larger movie theaters small orchestras
were formed. For a number of years the selection of music for each film program rested
entirely in the hands of the conductor or leader of the orchestra, and very often the
principal qualification for holding such a position was not skill or taste so much as the
ownership of a large personal library of musical pieces. Since the conductor seldom saw
the films until the night before they were to be shown (if, indeed, the conductor was lucky
enough to see them then), the musical arrangement was normally improvised in the
greatest hurry.

To help meet this difficulty, film distributing companies started the practice of publishing
suggestions for musical accompaniments. In 1909, for example, the Edison Company
began issuing with their films such indications of mood as “pleasant’, “sad”, “lively”. The
suggestions became more explicit, and so emerged the musical cue sheet containing
indications of mood, the titles of suitable pieces of music, and precise directions to show
where one piece led into the next. Certain films had music especially composed for them.
The most famous of these early special scores was that composed and arranged for D.W.
Griffith’ s film Birth of a Nation, which was released in 1915.

51.The passage mainly discusses music that was .

A.performed before the showing of a film

B.played during silent films

C.specifically composed for certain movie theaters

D.recorded during film exhibitions
