"The Devil's Chord" also had several examples of breaking the fourth wall, most notably that the Maestro ends the cold open by playing the theme music to Doctor Who on the piano. The Doctor and Ruby are able to hear background music in the scene where the Maestro captures Ruby and tries to steal the music from her soul, and the Doctor even comments he thought that music was nondiegetic.
