I watched the movie “Pianist” (2002) and it was based on a real life event where a Jewish pianist called Wladyslaw Szpilman thought he was about to be executed by a german soldier, during World War 2. In the movie he played Chopin’s Ballade No. 1 on a piano that was nearby. (But in real life Szpilman actually played Chopin’s Nocturne in C-sharp minor.)

If you were in his position. And if you can’t play any instrument, let’s say you could magically gain the ability. Which piece would you perform knowing you are about to die? 🤔
