I am desperately trying to identify a classical piece of music that appears
towards the beginning of the 1988 movie Running on Empty. It is played in
the scene where the character Danny Pope (River Phoenix) is playing a
piece for his new High School teacher, Mr. Phillips (Ed Crowley). Is
anyone familiear with this?

Thanks in advance!

I went to the usually helpful IMDB.com expecting to find an answer, but
no luck. They list original music composed by Tony Mottola and four pop
songs, but nothing classical. I haven't seen the movie, which is
supposed to be very good, so I have no personal knowledge of it.

A Google search suggests Beethoven's Sonata Pathetique, 2nd movement.

Thank you! I'll check it out by that name. (You must have better searching
skills that I - since I tried it with several different search terms...)
Thanks again!
