piano piece

Does anyone know the piece that Helen plays on the piano at the music store? It sounds like a Scriabin piece; however, Scirabin has so many short pieces.

Thanks,
JW

Wish I knew! I've been trying various boards on the 'net with no luck. It's one of the most moving pieces of music for the piano I've ever heard. If I find out, I'll report back.

Does anyone know if Meryl Streep is a pianist? I know she's musically gifted, and wonder if it was really she who was playing the piano.

I thought Scriabin too, but I can't identify it

Now the moment you've all been waiting for:

The name of the signature solo piano piece featured in Ironweed is

Feuillet D'album op.45 no.1 by Alexander Scriabin (of course)
