COLUMBO Episode Question-Piano piece title - PLEASE!

[TJSushiboy]

Flipping thru channels I chanced upon an episode of Columbo which was
about a murder/art theft. An older gentleman was playing a beautiful
piano solo (classical) in his grand home. His house guest comes down the
stairs, wearing a tux, goes over to the piano, seems to enjoy the music,
and then pulls out a gun & shoots the gentleman. Then some art theft ...
etc. PLEASE - SOMEONE HELP by identifying the name of that classical
piano piece!! It has been haunting me & I cannot get it off my mind. I
play the piano & must learn this lovely piece. If you
do not know the title, perhaps you could refer me to a specific news group
where I could post this request??
Thanks. Chuck

The episode you saw was "Suitable For Framing" broadcast November 17,
1971; the musical score for this episode was composed by Billy
Goldenberg. Ross Martin played the part of Dale Kingston who murdered
his uncle and stole his paintings and tries to frame his aunt Edna
played by Kim Hunter. The sources I have do not list the title of the
musical piece you wanted.

Good luck in your search.

The song is, "No other love" The words were written by Bob Russell. The music is credited to Paul Weston but is actually derived from Frédéric Chopin's Étude No. 3 in E, Op. 10

Jo Stafford sang a beautiful rendition of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjDqMftHbKI

The original Chopin piece, here played by Murray Perahia:

How is this going to help the guy, 18 years later?

The guy probably hasn't been here since he posted, he certainly doesn't
sound like a familiar name.

Worse, in 1996 the internet wasn't as big as it is now. Things like
tv.com and imdb were either just starting, or not yet in existence. Now
they do, so the guy has probably figured out the song some other way, or
long given up. Posting a reply here isn't going to get the word to him in
1996, this newsgroup isn't a method of time travel.

Just because google allows replies to messages older than 30 days doesn't
mean anyone should reply to old messages. And at least check the date
before you pull out random messages from the past and reply to them.

OTOH I found a nice piece of music I hadn't known about. BTW your
objection was quite a bit longer than the original post and response.

I didn't notice the date myself. I've seen a good number of zombie
threads recently, but this is the first one that was at all
interesting. Chopin trumps pretty much everything.

Ha, and I was going to express amazement at the quick response to such
an obscure question! Though I suppose IMDB and stuff has come online
since then.

Google groups does this a few times ... where a very old post finally either
got posted for the first time ... or somewhere in their software it told them
to post it again ... If you don't notice the date ... one would assume it was
new ...
