| Q: | I just saw this movie and really liked it, but I can't find out what the classical piece is that is used throughout the film. It's very familiar to me but I can't place it, possibly Beethoven? Thanks! (from John in Chicago) |
| A: | It is a Beethoven piece. It's Beethoven's Symphony 7, Second movement. I didn't know it either and I typed in "Beethoven symphony" on Youtube after seeing your question and by pure luck I found the right one. I hope your brain can stop hurting you now like mine was, lol. (thanks to m, USA) add more info |
| A: | Beethoven - Seventh Symphony, Movement 2: Allegretto (thanks to Allen, Boston, MA) add more info |

| Q: | What is the name of the song where the main character is going to New York? It sounds like it's in 7/4 or something like that. (from brando in USA) |
| A: | Beethoven 7. Symphony II. Allegretto. (NYC SCENE). I bought this soundtrack only because of this "song/title" when Nicolas Cage goes to NYC and am obviously not amused to get a soundtrack by M.
