Ridley Scott’s Napoleon biopic may have been criticised in some quarters for certain historical inaccuracies - “Get a life!” was the director’s response to those who’ve been fact-checking his movie and pointing out where he’s gone wrong - but it’s emerged that, when it comes to one particular element of the film’s score, the music couldn’t be any more authentic.
We’re talking about the opening track on the film’s soundtrack, known as Napoleon’s Piano. A very literal title, it turns out, because this plaintive theme was actually played on a piano once owned by Napoleon himself.
