I'm sure you've seen the new Android commercial that uses two grand pianos and Beethoven's Piano Sonata No.14 In C Sharp Minor.

Featuring pianist Ji, the ad shows Ji playing two grand pianos but one of them has been modified to play only one note: Middle C. The ad shows off just how ‘Be together, not the same’ works in a more practical way, because when 88 keys all play the same note, life gets a little bit boring. It’s a good commercial and worth a look.

It's a terrific commercial that I hope has people Googling it so they can find the music that Ji plays.

This is one of my favorite Beethoven piano sonatas so I said to myself, self, let's get grand master Maurizio Pollini, to grace our LNMC tonight and have him play the Op.27-2 `Moonlight` - III. Presto Agitato.

Enjoy...
