Author and name of the music piece played at the end of the movie named Rhapsody (1954)?

Question

I managed to watch just the end of the movie, and I heared that music played by violin played by a man while Elizabeth Taylor is sitting in the room and watching/listening.

The music starts raher slow and becomes quiet fast.

Answer 1

If this was the violin piece Vittorio Gassman played
only to Elizabeth Taylor and had a Gypsy sound to it
then it was definitely the Zigeunerweisen Op. 26.

The Mendolssohn and Tchaikovsky concerti were
will full orchestra.

Answer 2

Hi.. I found these two goodies:

The movie includes the Rachmaninoff Concerto No. 2, Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D major, various passages by Chopin, Liszt and Schumann and an excerpt from Scriabin's Etude No. 12 (Op. 8).

Answer 4

Hi there,

I've had a look on IMdB and it could be.

"Concerto In D Major For Violin And Orchestra"
by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.

Type the title into iTunes so you can hear an exerpt of it.

Hope this helps and let me know if this is the music you were looking for!

Answer 5

The Tchaikovsky violin concerto is quite long so you will have to listen to a lot of it to find it. I suggest listening to a few minutes from each of the three movements until you recognise something.

Answer 6

I believe it is 'Rule Britannia' set to music by Thomas Arne in 1740. It was first a poem.
