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 HYPERLINK "/" or HYPERLINK "/" HYPERLINK "/" leader HYPERLINK "/" HYPERLINK "/" of HYPERLINK "/" HYPERLINK "/" the HYPERLINK "/" HYPERLINK "/" orchestra, HYPERLINK "/" HYPERLINK "/" and HYPERLINK "/" HYPERLINK "/" very HYPERLINK "/" HYPERLINK "/" often HYPERLINK "/" HYPERLINK "/" the HYPERLINK "/" HYPERLINK "/" principal HYPERLINK "/" qualification HYPERLINK "/" HYPERLINK "/" for HYPERLINK "/" HYPERLINK "/" holding HYPERLINK "/"
