I would like to share an experience with a piece of music that came from
a movie. When I was quite small I heard a piece that I loved, but had
never heard again until recently. Instinct pulled me into a vintage
clothing store, where for some unknown reason I pounced on a CD of
romantic classics, slid it in my car's CD player, and heard the piece I
now know as the "Warsaw Concerto". I've sinced asked my mother if she
played it on our piano; she hadn't.
I googled and found that the piece, by well-known British composer Richard
Aldinsell, came from the movie "Dangerous Moonlight". Motifs are used
throughout the soundtrack, and the entire piece is played in a concert
at the end of the movie. More googling turned up a reasonably-priced
copy of the movie, which I am now waiting with delight to view. I believe
know the movie may have played late at night on tv at one time while my
parents watched it and I, of course, was supposed to have been asleep:-)
