The first piece Joanna plays is Chopin, Prelude in E-Minor (op.28 no. 4).
I believe you're right, thanks! I listened briefly to all the Chopin Preludes (not hard to find all of them on YouTube) but I might have skipped #4 or, perhaps didn't listen to it properly. But I think it is #4. And thanks for identifying the other one as well.
Where do you go to find mail-order brides like this? Eleanor Parker -- wow! And she comes with an elegant wardrobe too...
Hear, hear! And to think that Heston's character spurned her pretty much throughout. I kept wanting to shout at the screen, "Well, Leiningen, if *you* don't want her, hand her over to
me!" lol
Don't mess with me, man! I know karate, judo, ju-jitsu..... and several other Japanese words.

The Chopin Prelude in E-Minor is also played by Jack Nicholson in the movie "Five Easy Pieces". Did Nicholson really play the piece? The camera pans from his face down to his hands, but I suspect there is some Hollywood magic going on. It's a good scene.

Interesting, thanks for the link. I'd totally forgotten about that movie... I saw it many, many years ago.
Too bad there isn't a YouTube clip of Eleanor Parker playing that Prelude. It sounded great, and she looked magnificent, sitting at the piano - albeit thoroughly unappreciated by Heston's character. lol
