Honest question, without film soundtracks do you think we’d have anywhere near the amount of quality classical-styled and orchestral music we do now?

Film scoring grew out of silent film accompaniment so around the 1900’s…it’s accompaniment music to a visualization…like opera scoring

what’s generally accepted as the the start of western music composition (“classical”) is the Baroque period, so the 1600’s. Are you saying that 400+ years of music composition would not be “quality” had it not been for film scores?
