Carl Fischer's Loose Leaf Motion Picture Collection

History

• This series consisted of at least 45 compositions intended for use as accompaniment for silent movies and was issued by Carl Fischer from 1914 to 1918. The works were composed and arranged by Mayhew Lake and Lester Brockton (a pseudonym of Mayhew Lake) and were "specially arranged so as to be playable for violin and piano, trio, quartet, or any other combination of instruments with violin and piano." The works were also arranged for piano solo. The typical instrumentation for full orchestra included flute/piccolo, oboe, 2 clarinets, bassoon, 2 horns, 2 cornets, trombone, drums, 2 violins, viola, cello, bass, and piano.
