Does anyone know what piece of music is being played in Luc Jardie's house when Jardie is visited by his brother, Jean François Jardie? On the soundtrack listing on this site, a Mozart symphony is listed, but I don't recall when this is heard, and it doesn't correspond to the music being played in this scene. It rather sounds like a violin sonata.
shareBonne question! It's the final movement of Beethoven's Sixth Symphony, aka "The Pastorale." The Shepherd's Song: happy, grateful feelings after the storm. Played Allegretto. Ironic that a leader of the French Resistance is listening to a German composer, but Luc Jardie also has a bust of Beethoven on his mantle. As a philosopher, it was as if Luc Jardie were trying to wrap his head around the fact that a people that could produce Beethoven could also be responsible for the most unspeakable atrocities.
