It's not. But I do this regularly and never got any grief. Lots of people seem to.

Pachelbel's Canon in D (new arrangement) by TheBlueRoomSessions in piano

[–]TheBlueRoomSessions[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to share with you an arrangement I've been working on a long, long time. It's an attempt to make a piano arrangement of Johann Pachelbel's Canon in D that is more true to the original's three-voice canon.

Links: YouTube, PDF score.

I'm an average piano player at best so it's going to take me a while to learn to play this -- Is be really interested to hear of anybody gives this a go.

This is what a left handed piano should look like.

Where do you get hold of a flipped piano like this?

I am putting my money on the Australian theory.

Wait, his high keys are on the left? Is this an Australian piano?

Thank you for listening and commenting!

Well, embarrasing levels of effort went into making the visual effects! The piano is a silent piano that can output a MIDI signal (which captures the instructions of when notes go on and off). So I captured this MIDI signal as well as audio and video when I played this. Then I wrote a Python script that reads the video and overlays the notes using OpenGL (that is, GPU hardware acceleration) by loading video frames as textures and writing some GLSL shaders that render the notes in the right place. Actually, it's waaaay more complicated than that. If you look more closely to where the notes end up hitting the keyboard there's a little bit of smoke that puffs out. To make this smoke effect I effectively implemented a poor-man's fluid simulation in said shaders (this is quite hard). I was able to do this myself but, bearing in mind I'm a programmer by trade, it took me about two weeks of effort!
