well the episode name references Top Hat, White Tie and Tails by Irving Berlin, but the "piano duel" tune is These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You) which was a standard written by two Englishmen. It seems "Rumbold" & "Peacock" really are playing piano -- "Rumbold" (Nicholas Smith) is quite good but "Peacock" (Frank Thornton) really shows off some nice changes for the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVuVEWJaFHY&t=12m50s
