When there is someone actually playing, it is really the actor, Adrian Brody playing. (i.e. Ballade No. 1 in G Minor by Chopin, which he plays for Hosenfield and the theme, Nocturne in C# Minor by Chopin, Adrian Brody plays at the beginning and the end) When you see only fingers, that is famous Polish pianist Janusz Olejniczak.

JordanThree people won Oscars for their roles in The Pianist(2002).

- Ronald Harwood - Best Writing, Adapted Screenplay
Based on the real-life story of World War II Survivor Wladyslaw Szpilman of Warsaw, Poland, "The Pianist" was nominated for seven 2002 Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
It won for its direction by the controversial veteran filmmaker Roman Polanski, its lead performance by actor Adrien Brody and its adapted screenplay by Ronald Harwood.
Brody became the youngest person ever to win a Best Actor Oscar. When he received the award on March 23, 2003, he was 29 years and 343 days old, breaking the previous record held by Richard Dreyfuss, who was 30 years and 156 days old when he won the award in 1978.
Polanski was not able to accept his Oscar personally. The 69-year-old, Polish-born director has been in self-imposed exile in Europe ever since he fled the United States because of a 1977 statuatory rape charge.
