I am looking for the piano music from the 1947 film The Paradine Case. I think it is called Appassionata by Franz Waxman. I have searched and searched and searched and can’t find it anywhere.

Thank you and best wishes!

There's a snippet here (https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.5406/mu ... 0034?seq=1) indicating that "Southern Music Publishing" control the rights. I also note that Piers Lane has recorded the piece - perhaps contacting him (or the Queensland Symphony Orchestra) might throw up some leads.

Thank you!

For reasons that are difficult to explain, I arranged the Prologue after publishing the first video with the other 3 pieces.
