These are all from pre-70s films that I’ve seen, and are in no particular order.ġ. So, with thanks to Ragni and due apologies to Chris (and thank you for the suggestion, anyway), a list of my ten favourite songs that feature women pianists, whether from black-and-white films, or colour. I had to, perforce, expand the scope to colour films too. Songs where a woman is the one actually playing the piano are, when I came to think of it, relatively rare.
A closer look at most of the piano songs that sprang to mind, and I discovered that even if it’s a woman singing (as in Tu jahaan-jahaan chalega or Mujhe tum mil gaye humdum), it’s a man sitting at the piano. When I actually got down to compiling this list, however, I realized how impetuous I’d been. I riffled mentally through the film songs of the 50s and 60s, and quickly responded: there would be just too many how could I choose just ten? Another reader, Chris, came up with a suggestion: songs only from black-and-white films. When I created a list of my favourite car songs, blog reader Ragni requested a list: of songs that feature women playing a piano.
