What song is this?

In this youtube at 14:40, what waltz are they playing? In the story, it's being played three-hands-two-pianos (because the guy in the bear suit injured his right hand). Is that plausible?
I don't know what it's called, but it seems plausible to me.

It sounds like a slow, stripped down version of Waltz of the Flowes?

Response by poster: Fshgrl, thank you for your suggestion but I'm sure that's not right.

Best answer: Basically, this track? I'm guessing it's original - probably by Shinkichi Mitsumune (who seems to (1) compose anime music including piano stuff and (2) be associated with this show.) It sounds to me more modern-soundtrack-with-classical-feel than, e.g., being Chopin (if that's what you were wondering), though I can't articulate why.

Response by poster: Yes, that is it. I had thought it was Johann Strauss, but I shouldn't be too surprised that it's modern and was composed for the show. There is a surprisingly large amount of really awesome music being written for anime these days.

It's not Chopin because all of Chopin's surviving waltzes are known (applies to the other canonic romantic composers, too). It's mere "classical feel" as opposed to 'real' romantic piano music, because some of the voice leading, or rather progression of the bass, is off, while the piece as such is otherwise tonal enough for basic harmony rules to have applied.
