Ingrid's piano playing


It has already been said that Leslie Howard's violin pseudo-playing was terrific, but what about Ingrid's piano playing? I think she did a fantastic job, too. Surely she wasn't really playing? Anyone know anything about that?

Edited to add:
Just found this on Wikipedia-

The musical duets, with Howard and Bergman, were dubbed for the soundtrack with professional musicians; however, the actors' hands show the actual music being played: Ingrid Bergman plays the full piano parts (for Edvard Grieg's "Concerto in A minor" and Christian Sinding's "Rustle of Spring"), so her hand positions are correct for the music soundtrack; Leslie Howard could not play the violin, but Ingrid Bergman explained the trick used in the Swedish film: 2 violinists held the bow & violin before Howard in closeups (one held the bow and the other held the violin), while Howard kept his arms at his sides.

Interesting that you found it on Wikipedia because IMDB leads you to believe that Ingrid played the piano herself. However, it's impressive to just know that she can do the fingering for the Grieg piece.
