Janusz Olejniczak, who won the Grand Prix at the Warsaw International Chopin Piano Competition in the 1980s, performed eight Chopin movements and
was included in the original soundtrack of the film "The Pianist". It is worth mentioning that
in the original soundtrack, it also included Spiel. A radio recording version of Mann himself at the beginning of the last century.
In this film, Chopin's soundtrack is basically chosen (that is, the music is misappropriated).
Of course, the most outstanding is the
Chopin Ballade No. 1 in G minor (Op.23) played by Speiman against the German officers .
Let me ask, if the German military officer does not understand music, this piece is undoubtedly just one piece.
At that time,
many German military officers were highly educated, but being close to classical music does not necessarily wash the soul.
Hitler liked Wagner very much (because of Wagner’s anti-Semitic thoughts and his consensus).
In "A Clockwork Orange", the perverse protagonist Don’t you like Beethoven?
Similarly, in this film, there is a segment.
That is, when Spearman took refuge in the attic, a piano piece appeared at this time.
Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas in the Moonlight Sonata (Sonata Op.27 Nr 2)
In the brutal World War II, among the ruins as every now and then out of the music
is undoubtedly a strong contrast and irony.
The music of the German composer Beethoven flew over Poland, which was invaded by Germany.
Immediately, the Polish pianist played the works of the Polish piano poet against the German invaders.
I do not know if something here given meaning, but clearly not for the musician
Schumann evaluation of Chopin's works, is "hidden in the flowers cannon"
This cannon, in "The Pianist" in once more toward the intruder .
Chopin, my beloved piano poet.
