I Can't Believe Nobody Said Something

Why is Schroeder from “Peanuts” playing a Bach piece in the insurance commercial?


It's a piano recital.  So he's playing piano.  It's kinda what he does.


My issue, of course, is not the fact that he's playing piano, but merely the fact that he's playing Bach on the piano.  Everyone knows that, to a fault,  his favorite composer is Beethoven.  If he's playing a piano piece at a filled concert hall, he should be playing Beethoven, not Bach.  No explanation you can provide me for this oversight is going to be enough to convince me that this piece was the proper choice.  

Incidentally, the piece he's playing is Bach's Italian Concerto in F Minor.  You want proof?  Here you go:
