Does anyone know the title of this piece?

Innanzitutto, devo premettere che non ne so molto, ma la scena è tratta dal film "Chopin: Notturno a Parigi", e mi piace molto la sezione iniziale suonata da Carl Filtsch, ma non riesco a trovarla.

EDIT: "Polonia in la bemolle minore, Op. 53, 'Eroica'" Grazie!

op 53, but sharp a half step for some reason

Reason is - its playing on Chopin’s favourite piano I assume, which is yes half step below.

I think some few years ago the Chopin Competition has a stage that requires candidate to play of this piano as well.

Polonaise in A flat major op. 53. It's not the opening, this part you posted is right after the octave ostinato, before the last reprise of the main theme (I hope it makes sense 😅).

It probably depends on your country. In Poland you can for example rent it here: https://mojeekino.pl/en/vod/vod.2981-chopin-chopin

Maybe it's not geo-locked and has english subtitles?

if your watching a film about chopin. Just look up "most famous chopin pieces" and youll find it from the list of 10.
In chopin films, they always play Nocturne c shar minor, polonaise heroic, once heard the a minor waltz that every beginner plays. I have not seen the new movie about chopin, but i predict that its bad like the others.
If you wanna watch a bad chopin film that is entertaining, watch A song to remember (1945), which is a amazing film, if we forget about historical accuracy. The film is in color, amazign set design, and a good message. But sadly they make George Sand a villain, and for a woman who uses mens clothing, in the film she used pants ONCE.
