Jakob Gimpel's hands playing Liszt's "Un Sospiro" in Letter from an Unknown Woman. |
Every time
someone is playing a musical instrument in a movie, I can't help but pay
attention to how realistic the performance is. And since I'm an amateur piano
player myself (something my neighbors will never stop thanking for) I
particularly enjoy scrutinizing finger movements on the piano keyboard when an
actor is performing, or pretending to. Do you have the same compulsion?
