Ticket giveaway: Schubert's Piano Trio

February 1, 2011
Back to TopCommentsE-mailPrint

Interested in a pair of tickets to the Feb. 23 concert by David Finckel, Wu Han and Philip Stetzer (presented by the Ensemble Music Society at the Basile Theatre at the Indiana History Center)?

The program includes the second movement of Schubert's “Piano Trio No. 2 in E flat major.” Doesn't ring a bell? Well, it probably will when you hear it, since it’s been used in movies ranging from “The Hunger” to “Crimson Tide” to “Barry Lyndon.”

Details on the concert here.

For a random chance at winning the tickets, just name your favorite use of classical music in a movie below (If you can’t think of one, you can always fall back on “2001: A Space Odyssey.”)

Good luck.

    My favorite use of classical music in a movie is "Flight of the Valkyries" in Apocalypse Now.

    I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

  • Khachaturian in Hudsucker Proxy

    Does Khachaturian qualify as classic? Various Aram Khachaturian pieces featured in a movie about hula hoops - what's not to love? A strange but wonderful modern classic presented in old-Hollywood style.

    How about Breaking Away? The film uses Felix Mendelssohnâ??s Symphony #4 in A Major as Dave practices for a bicycle race.

    I second Robert G's nomination. Great use of Khachaturian's music. And the original stuff is pretty darn good too.

    One of the most novel uses of classical music for me was the film "A Clockwork Orange". I liked the notion of a future world that still loves and respects classical music, and you just haven't heard Beethoven until you've heard it with synthesizers.

    Swan Lake by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. After seeing "The Black Swan" I now want to go to my first ballet. At least I will know the story line. When is Swan Lake coming to Indy?

    Apocalypse Now was always my favorite, but I can also go with Clair de Lune by Debussy in Oceans 11 (2001) while the gang was gazing at the fountain.

    Lawgoddess,
    It was John Barry. He also wrote the scores for Out of Africa, Dances with Wolves, and many more.

    I guess it does not qualify as classical-classical, but I love much of the music from the movie Knowing...especially the last couple scores.

    Barber's Adagio for Strings in Platoon (and a lot of other movies). A little modern maybe, but that's piece is a heartbreaker.
