Quite a lot of the background music sounded like a George Fenton had cribbed Shostkovitch’s ‘Waltz Suite No.2 from the Jazz Suite. Can anyone confirm this?
Yes its definitely the Jazz Suite but didn’t see it in the credits
please supply Composer and title of the music played by miss shepherd at the convent piano
many thanks duncan feather
please name the music played by Miss Shepherd as a classical pianist in The Lady & the Van
please name the music played by Miss Shepherd as a classical pianist in The Lady & the Van
Piano Concerto No. 1 in E Minor, Op.11 by Chopin is the music featured.
IN THE LADY IN THE VAN, WHO IS THE YOUNG LADY PIANIST SHOWN PLAYING THE CHOPIN CONCERTO???
Is Miss Shepherd’s Waltz the Waltz No. 2 from the Jazz Suite by Shostakovich or not? Why have not all the details and credits been given distinctly for pieces not written by Fenton? Confusing.
The general music sounds like Saint-Saens
