 Moritz Moszkowski also wrote a virtuoso transcription of it for piano.Many subsequent films have made use of Offenbach's music for the Barcarolle, most famously "Life Is Beautiful" (1997).The piece, which in this film represents European culture as contrasted with Fascist oppression, is used diegetically, first in a scene where Guido sees Dora, the woman he loves, at the opera, and later when Guido plays the piece through the concentration camp on a record player and Dora, now his wife, hears it.
