This organ is fully programmable and what Qi Zhang did was program in the score and then what instruments should be paired to the keys and foot pedals at every point on that score. Absolutely amazing.

“Before I played,” Qi said, “I created an arrangement based on the original score. I wanted to include as much of the original composition as possible, but it was not possible to play every note. So I started from the main melody and instrumentation, and decided which parts to include.”

“The program for this piece was set up weeks in advance. I put the program on a little memory card with the information about the piece. It cues the correct instruments based on the location in the score.”

Give me a little link love would ya ;):
