What is the 3rd song in the piano battle called?

piano battle

Uh oh. Look out. It's a "piece." Not a "song." That will get you in trouble on this forum!

And, having listened to it, I doubt it's a real piece. I suspect that it was "written" for this movie.

Somehow I'm doubt many others will listen to this long enough to suggest a different answer.

This is a mutation of the Chopin Fantasie-Imprompty, Posth., Op. 66, in E-flat minor. I am not impressed by this film.

As horrible as those interpretations are, which is considerable, towards the end of the clip there´s actually a really cool special effect-shot of the camera going INTO the piano, flying around creating a sort of fly-eye vision, and travling around the strings and hammers as they are being played. It´s all CG of course, but not the cheesy kind. I thought it looked really good.

I like movies with lots of piano, even if the playing is often sub-par. At least it helps to popularize classical music and spread it to new generations who may not have been previously exposed to much of it.
