That I don't know, but I actually found the sheet music for her song, "Who Cares What People Say ?" and have sung it many times in performance. It was recorded by Patti Page and Mel Torme. Wish I could find her other song: "Would You Like a Souvenir ?" Found an LP of old soundtracks with Ann singing them both, among others. Marlene's on the other side of it .

The piano piece is Chopin's Berceuse, Op. 57 in D-Flat Major.

Yes, that scene was a bit ridiculous....a difficult piece by Chopin which he played like a professional pianist while looking at, and talking to Ann S. across the room.

And the piano, sitting untouched for years in that unoccupied cabin in extremes of heat and cold, is in perfect tune.
