Piano Piece?


Does anyone know the name of the beautiful and haunting piano piece Jeannie Long plays in the episode "Telling Tales"? It sounds like Chopin.

"I think I'll have a large order of prognosis negative."

I had the exact same question, and thanks to the powers of the Internet, I discovered it was Chopin Nocturne for piano in C minor, B. 108 which also goes by Nocturne No.21 in C-Minor Op. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIqx0MOsNfo&feature=kp. Apparently this piece stuck with a lot of people because there were many Internet pages asking about this episode.

I seem to recall it also was used to great effect in "The Pianist" with Adrian Brody.

When he plays it at a key moment, it kind of conveys all the sad and melancholy tragedy he's undergone in the Holocaust.

It is a haunting piece.
