name of piano piece?


What was the name of that slow piano sonata he was playing at the end, when his friends got him a piano.

That piece is one of Chopin's Preludes Opus 28#2 in E minor. You really should invest in a recording of Chopin Preludes and Etudes if you like this one piece.

Chopin is one of the most fantastic and inventive composers in history. You deserve to know at least these pieces. Later, you can progress through the famous Waltzes, Ballades, Polonaises, Nocturnes, Scherzos and perhaps Mazurkas. Then if you are still thirsty, try the two Piano Concertos. Then finally, the two Sonatas for Piano. There are a few other miscellaneous pieces.

You won't be sorry you did!

This is a poor MIDI recording of that piece...but you will remember it from the film immediately when you listen. Go to this shortcut.
