That Berta and Anna are playing early in the movie? The scene immediately before it shows Erik Dorf standing in front of the mirror wearing his brand-new Nazi uniform. Then the scene switches to two pairs of hands playing a duet on the piano as pictures are shown of Hitler and the Nazi soldiers. I've heard the piece before but can't identify it.
Loralei.
shareThanks but it isn't Lorelei. I think it's Mozart. The Lorelei piece was the one played at Karl and Inga's wedding and later Berta and Anna played it as they were leaving their home for the last time, after Dr. Weiss had been deported.
The piece I am referring to was played as a duet by Berta and Anna fairly early in the movie. The scene just before it begins is where Erik's son cries on seeing his father in a Nazi uniform. The piece begins with scales and then went into an absolutely beautiful melody. We see black and white pictures of Hitler and a lot of Nazis. Then the scene switches to Dr. Weiss in his office and Erik Dorf comes to tell him not to treat Christians anymore. Dorf tells Dr. Weiss to leave Germany. Weiss goes to their living quarters to tell Berta just as she and Anna are finishing the piece. Anna says her father has ruined his birthday surprise as they have learned one of the most difficult Mozart pieces to play for him.
