Wiki says: “The original 1928 score was written by composer Edmund Meisel. In 1966, Dmitri Shostakovich wrote a new soundtrack for the film, which later appeared as a tone poem ‘October’ Op.131 where Shostakovich’s famous ‘Partisan’ theme makes an appearance.[8] Sound effects (such as the shouting of crowds, gunshots, glasses breaking) were added to the film after its initial release by co-director Grigori Aleksandrov. This soundtrack is the one used on most DVD releases of the film.”
