Death Waltz by John Stump
I can read music and play piano, but this makes my brain hurt. Look at how insane that is! Heres a computer playing it and one of a guy actually playing it( although its toned down a bit). The piece was originally meant to be impossible to play due to how it was written.

It sounds surprisingly modern
That’s because it’s probably been composed quite a few years from now. So how did it end up on the Internet?
A brilliant pastsender. I’m positive my tumblr readers don’t know what a pastsender is, so allow me to explain. There exist small pockets of error in time itself - most are aware of this. What most aren’t aware of is that we can enter such pockets, and manipulate them. The scenario went like this:
The pastsender - we do not/could not know his name - composed this piece, perhaps years from now, and finished the song. He then thought to himself, “but no one could appreciate this song, even if I inscribed it into my skin, poured kerosene in the inscriptions, and lit myself on fire to death.” He then knew what he had to do, which was pastsend. I will not go through what it takes to make a pastsend happen, nor do computers even have the adequate language to detail it with. Know that it is incredibly chancey and, as far as I’m concerned, a waste of one’s ability.
We next come to this hack musician John Stump. Lacking inspiration and ability, he futuresought constantly. Futureseeking is a very easy, pathetic form of sorcery. He essentially cast his spell into the Nether and hoped something would return… for countless years. Maybe he’d pick up a stray thought, a terrible dream here or there, as is the fate of most futureseekers. Nay. John Stump caught Our Impressive Pastsender’s donation at the right time and we’ve ended up with this. He inscribed it to paper and has taken the credit for the work of someone who may not have even existed in our own timeline yet.
That being said, this is one catchy tune.
