We do not use articles with common nouns unless they are specific or unique. In this case, there is no reason to believe that Williams is playing a particular piano, so we do not use an article.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some examples of when we would use an article with the word &#8220;piano&#8221;:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Williams can play the piano very well. (This indicates that Williams is playing a specific piano, such as the piano in his living room.)<\/li>\n<li>Williams can play a piano. (This indicates that Williams is able to play any piano, not just a specific one.)<\/li>\n<li>Williams can play the piano sonata in C major.
