A pizza too hot to Handel

-

The Varchetti family, from Detroit, thought they’d treat themselves to a takeaway pizza last week – and ended up with some bonus classical music.

As the pizza delivery boy handed over their food, he spotted a dusty old grand piano in the hallway.

He asked to try it and the family were stunned to hear a note-perfect version of the third movement of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata.

The Varchetti family filmed the performanc­e, which became an online hit.

What makes it more remarkable is the delivery driver, 18-year-old Bryce Dudal, taught himself to play piano in only a year.

“It was a long process. You have to sit there and think and try to put it on the piano, piece by piece. I couldn’t read music back then,” he said.
