Beautiful… especially the moment when the piano begins to play all on its own, liberated from the pianist.

Also, the orchestra seems quite reduced.

Yes, it all happened because of a vaccination attempt made on the piano the day before, in order to prevent it from spreading chromatic diseases. It reacted to the homosapiens-DNA contained in the vaccine by starting to play on its own. If one is not careful, soon instruments will be challenging our human supremacy…
