Rachmaninoff tune and Willy Wonka
on: January 30, 2004, 09:28:18 PM
I'm trying to figure what tune it is when Willy Wonka (from the movie) plays a classical tune to open the door to his chocolate factory (one of the parents say "Rachmaninoff" but I don't know).  

Does anyone have a clue?
Thanks!

I don't think it is Rachmaninoff - as far as I remember, I knew what the tune was and it was a snobbish parent who said a composer who it certainly wasn't by - I think it was by Beethoven and they got it wrong and said Mozart or something like that

If it's Mozart, then what specific tune is it?

Here's a link to the clip:

When Practice Stagnates – Breaking the Performance Ceiling: Robotic Training for Pianists
“Practice makes perfect” is a common mantra for any pianist, but we all know it’s an oversimplification. While practice often leads to improvement, true perfection is elusive. But according to recent research, a robotic exoskeleton hand could help pianists improve their speed of performing difficult pianistic patterns, by overcoming the well-known “ceiling effect”.
