Superman Returs - library detention scene

[bombaclotta]

In the scene where Lex Luthor is detaining Lois Laine and her son in the library on his boat. There is a classical piece in the background. It goes Laaa la laaa / la laaaaaa / la la la la la laa laaa.
It is a string section. With stacatto brach violins and the other violins sliding.
Sounds like a Mozart. But who is it really. Can anyone help me find out.

The scene happens around 1h 19m and 40 seconds.

Thank you very much in advance.

Kind regards Lars.

I don't know the film well enough to say for sure, but judging by your 'la la's, it might be part of the Nutcracker Suite by Tchaikovsky

"HEART AND SOUL"
Written by Hoagy Carmichael and Frank Loesser

It's used in Big with Tom Hanks on the big dance/step on piano and also in Stuart Little - they play it and sing it in that film.

Oh I think I've just told you something you didn't ask. I've just named the tune Lois's son was playing on the piano with the goon !

Sorry !

I remember the scene but can't remember the tune, but judging by your comprehensive musical notation I think it could be Mozart's Piano Concerto No.21 in C Major K467 Second movement which I believe is also known as the theme from Elvira Madigan.

Hey! I've just checked on my daughter's copy and I was right!!! Elvira Madigan theme by the greatest, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart!
