  Is there actually sheet music written for the bigger budget films that actually survived?

    so I don't have an answer.
    
    The few silent films I've seen that were accompanied by live music (not necessarily featuring music composed in the same time frame
    as the initial release of the film) certainly benefited from the addition of the music performed. These include "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari",
    "Go West", "The High Sign", "One Week", "The Adventures of Prince Achmed" and a few others.
    
    Whether these films would have been as enjoyable, better or worse minus
    the music and shown as the filmmaker's had intended I'm not sure.
