Dubious statement: This claim about the ancient origins of visual music is controversial. It has been suggested that the history of visual music (color music) begins much later than the Ancient Greeks, in the centuries after the Renaissance.

Also, references to scholarly infighting about definitions are editorializing, and are not factual material of interest to wikipedia entries

and inaccurate. The statement of 'many great resources' is an opinion; these resources appear to include a number of poorly written bios, incomplete and erroneous filmographies, inaccurate dating of films, discrepancies amongst various articles, and a general lack of any fact checking.
