EDIT: as the next person points out...I guess IMDB's list isn't totally accurate.

Answer 2

The first time I ever heard that piece was in a movie which wasn't on PianoPianoPiano's list. In "Siong to Remember," which is about the life of Chopin, there is a scene in which Chopin as a boy plays that piece in a piano lesson while his teacher looks for mistakes.

Which is stupid. Why would a student play his own composition at a piano lesson?

Answer 3

I'm sure I've seen some figure skater or another use it...yup. it's pretty familiar. I'll have to go back and listen to the whole piece. it's pretty.

Probably a movie.
