Fantasia in F minor

The Fantasia in F minor was a composition by Franz Schubert. The Eleventh Doctor recognised that the music being played by Solomon in his spacecraft was Fantasia in F minor for four hands. When asked if he knew it, the Doctor claimed that he served as hands three and four. He added that "Schubert kept tickling me to try to put me off." (TV: Dinosaurs on a Spaceship)
