Answer
That piano piece is not part of the classical piano repertoire.  It probably isn't published as sheet music anywhere, or recorded anywhere except as part of this anime.  It sounds, from a number of factors, as if it is a pretty-good pianist simply improvising, kind of noodling around in a semi-classical, semi-french-pop music style.  That is not to say it isn't pretty or pleasant or sometimes haunting.  But I would bet that it was created, probably on the spot, explicitly for this anime.
