I am pretty sure it is not the Venetian Boat Song but the Gondolier's Song No. 12 in F Sharp minor Opus 30/6. I have compared this piece to the movie and it matches.Katharinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17865303159773432625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32422320.post-1543582924965204132008-12-12T19:51:00.000-07:002008-12-12T19:51:00.000-07:00hi, can you tell me where i can find an audio/shee...hi, can you tell me where i can find an audio/sheet music of "elegy" and "meditation" ?<BR/><BR/>thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32422320.post-10371828391025894782008-04-09T16:49:00.000-06:002008-04-09T16:49:00.000-06:00Thank you for posting the title of that song.

At least you learned hwo to play- I can only play by ear due to the messed up piano madness going on in the house.<BR/><BR/>Truly, I bet if I trid hard enough I could play everything you guys did....that you played over, and over, and over.<BR/><BR/>...Send in the Clowns, the Chopin, the Intermezzo, the weird ones carter played.

Granted I have the worst memory alive so you may want to take that with a grain of salt. Even though I thought the movie "Once" was sort of lame, I remember that song and I'm glad it inspired you.<BR/><BR/>Also, I see ads for old piano's for like $100 in the nickle ads all the time, I actually bought one a few years ago, and after tuning it it worked great.

Listening is certainly nice too, but <I>playing</I> brings in another element you simply can't get any other way. <BR/><BR/>I think it's one of the unspoken messages of <I>Once</I>. It certainly reveals a deeper side to both Hansard and Irglová's characters.<BR/><BR/>When I buy a house, a good piano is the first accessory I plan to acquire.Saule Cogneurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06539979684286065456noreply@blogger.com
