I FOUND IT!!
Well I found it...but I guess I will give the back story. I have been searching for the name and composer of a certain piano piece for a while now and it has really been bugging me. The piece is in The Pianist and also in The Notebook (the song she plays in the old house). And every time that I go into Target it is always playing at one of those mood music cd stands but never says the track it is on the cd!! So tonight after walking by the stand in Target again and being inches away from buying the whole cd to find out, I decided that I had to find out the answer. At that point I didn't remember hearing it in the Pianist, that would have made things a lot easier!! So I went searching from The Notebook lead. Not much luck until I checked trusty ole IMDB.com (Internet Movie Database, really good if you are fighting about anything that has to do with movies like the name of an actor, another movie they were in, etc.) They had listed under "Trivia" for The Notebook on the last bullet that the song played on the piano in the movie is a prelude by Chopin. So now I was armed with the composer at least...but which Prelude???!!! So I went on to the iTunes Music Store and searched for "chopin prelude" and I listened to the clips from all the songs and I FOUND IT!!! It is actually a really short and pretty easy piece. It is only one page long. It is called Prelude in E Minor, Op. 28, No. 4 by Frederic Chopin. Very pretty little piece. I also then found a site on the internet (www.sheetmusicarchive.net) that has classical non-copyrighted sheet music available to download for free so I got that as well. I played it on my piano and I love it! I can't wait to play it on a "real" piano. This is a piece that needs the "real" piano for the dramatic effect. I will definitly bring that up to WA to play for you all!
So that was my little adventure for the last half hour! Hope you enjoyed it!
