Saw this recently at a French Film Festival and enjoyed it very much. I’d like to know the titles of all the classical pieces played in the film, especially the opening piece in the official trailer:

but IMDB only mentions one Mozart concerto and that isn’t it. I’m sure someone here will be able to quickly identify that piece, but there were at least three beautiful pieces played (before Bolero at the end).
It’s Beethoven (5th Symphony, judging by the dit-dit-dit-dah rhythmic pattern, but I may be mistaken and don’t feel like checking all the possibilities!)
At the start, it’s Beethoven’s “Egmont Overture” (a terrific piece)
At 1:14 not sure, 1:25 is Rossini’s Barber of Seville Overture.
1:45 not sure
There’s Bolero at the end?
At 1:40 is a modified version of a passage in Mozart, Overture to the Magic Flute (Zauberflöte). See for instance this performance at 1:09.
On the French Wikipedia page for the movie there is a longer list of pieces from the film.
- Quadrature I et II, musique originale composée par Michel Petrossian
- Le concerto pour piano no 23 de Mozart
- La symphonie nº 39 de Mozart
- Le Boléro de Ravel
- La marche triomphale d’Aida de Verdi
- I Remember Clifford (en) par Benny Golson et par Lee Morgan
- Emmenez-moi de Charles Aznavour
- When the Saints Go Marching In, negro spiritual traditionnel
- L’ouverture des Hébrides de Mendelssohn
- L’ouverture d’Egmont de Beethoven
- La symphonie no 3 de Mahler
- Prélude à l’Après-midi d’un faune de Claude Debussy
- Monday, Tuesday… Laissez-moi danser de Dalida
Perfect! Thank you very much.
Should have clarified for others - the Bolero piece is at the end of the movie, not the end of the trailer.
I need to sharpen up my search skills, as well as ma Française…
