This commercial is at least airing in California. The piece is orchestral and sounds like a mix between a waltz and a Hungarian dance. It definately sounds like it is in 3/4 time. Thanks! :-)

Hi Kat, this is one of my favorite ads just because of the music.The piece of music is actually the Waltz No. 2 from Shostakovich's "Suite for Variety Stage Orchestra."
This suite is in 8 movements that are derived from other works and has often been misidentified as Shostakovich's "Suite for Jazz Orchestra No.2" which was lost for some time, a score of which was only discovered and reorchestrated in 2000.
The "Suite for Variety Stage Orchestra" has at times been recorded and mis-labeled as the "Suite for Jazz Orchestra No. 2."
Musician, composer, teacher
