Default Citi commercial, Asian man w/ scissors

I've seen a commercial for Citi and it has an asian man in it cutting a piece of paper into a beautiful design. It features a piano based song playing in the background.

Anyone know what the name of the song is & artist?

Thank you!

is the song fast or slow? i think i might know which one you're talking about...it's sort of a slow waltz type of song?

YES! that song is so beautiful and I am also trying to find out what it is. I called Citibank's customer service number, and after waiting on hold for about ten minutes they had no idea what i was talking about. Oh well.

okay...i hope i'm thinking of the same song you are...but it's worth a shot. it might be "Trois Gymnopedies" and it's the first of the three entitled "Lent et Douloureux" by Erik Satie. I hope this is it. :-)

After 3 days, someone from Citibank customer service actually CALLED ME BACK! Yes, i know...amazing. She said that she had researched it, and the song from the "Scissors" commercial was created specifically for that TV spot, so unfortunately there is not a recording of it available. She could not even tell me the composer's name. She could have been wrong though, so maybe I will check out that Satie piece anyway!

I believe it was symphonic music while the old guy cut the paper. At the end he unfolds the paper and I think it makes a dragon. It's from a couple of years back, again, I think.

I just want to know the name of the song playing during the Citi commercial with the asian man cutting a shape out of paper. The song has a piano in it and the man cutting the paper is going in fast motion. I don't know if the song is an actual song or just for the commercial.

Pacman,

Just saw the commercial while visiting my folks back home in New York. I really dig the piano tune while the Asian guy cuts a figure out of paper. I e-mailed Citibank about the commercial yesterday - hopefully they'll get back. I joined adtunes.com today because I was hoping somebody would know the song.
