I just noticed this thread. I don’t know if you meant it as a question but most silent films didn’t overtly had a specified score that went with them. In the united states there were cross promotional record deals where songs were connected with the films as tie ins, using the movie poster or stars image as cover art and usually being sold in the theater lobbies and were encouraged to be played by the theater owners during the showing. Some higher profile films did have scores that would be used in larger venues where they had a in house Orchestia but that was a rare thing. Not knowing that much about the German practice I can only guess that it was probably nearly identical. Otherwise there are a lot of scores on editions of the film including a few rock and black metal ones that are so out of place its hard not to either laugh or scream. Two of the better ones are to come out are the period organ soundtrack for the Kino DVD release and a original soundtrack by Jill Tracy that I don’t think has been used on any DVD’s that I know of but has been released in a shortened version on CD under the tittle Into the Land of Phantoms.
