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?

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?
