I saw the movie 20 some odd times in the theater 77-78 and that music was never there.
In 1980 during the re-release before Empire suddenly there was “A NEW HOPE” in the titles, strange music, extra lines, and Luke cursing Wedge instead if Biggs his wingman.
We thought Lucus had changed the movie when he changed it into “A New Hope” (Little did we know what was going to happen, SE) we were confused.
In fact we were just seeing the mono version for the first time. The correct version of Star Wars is personal and most feel the first version they saw is the “right one.”
If you think the 70MM/Dolby Stereo version is the “right one” you happen to be correct.

I´m curious, what do you mean by saying, it was erroneausly added later? When? All german releases I have seen so far (except the 2004 SE) have this musical piece in it. The german dub was already made in late 1977. The question is now, which english version does have it? The mono track? BEcause all sound effects used in ALL german versions (even the 2004 SE) match the original mono mix, they also had always the missing lines (of course dubbed, but they are there).

It's not missing, it was never there.
It was erroneously added later...
