Once - Song Without Words?

[Polka Dot2]

Hi!

I want to learn the section of Mendelssohn's "Song Without Words" that the Girl in Once plays. I got the piano score, and the entire thing is over 100 pages - does anyone know which movement she plays?

Thanks!!

I found this discussion about the same scene in the film.
Venetian Boat Song

Thanks for the link!

But is the song she plays from the movie the same one they use in the play?

Yes it's the same piece. I can confirm it's the Venetian Boat Song. I learned the piece growing up during my piano lessons. Beautiful piece.

Does anyone know how much of the song she plays in the show? I can't remember from when I saw it.
