However, the hierarchy seems to present some intrinsic contradictions, as the “labels” with the higher rank appear to be slightly different between the main index and the actual catalogue. The excerpts are classified by an elaborated system based on a series of verbal “labels” referring to emotions or situations, which are ordered in a hierarchical scale. The fragments are extracted from instrumental “fantasies” by Emile Tavan, Gaetano Luporini and Adolphe Gauwin. The presence of Puccini in this compilation consists of 86 fragments from 6 operas: Gianni Schicchi, La Fanciulla del West, Manon Lescaut, Suor Angelica, Il Tabarro and Le Villi. The article studies the use of Giacomo Puccini’s creations in one of the most complete and complex catalogues of music for silent films: the Allgemeines Handbuch der Filmmusik (1927), by Giuseppe Becce, Hans Erdmann and Ludwig Brav.
