Can a genius of geniuses of geniuses of genius.....play this?

Like, just 1 person the whole song? John Stump's version btw.

Is it made impossible to play by 1 person because you need more than 20 fingers or because the reach is too difficult?

It is impossible. The reach is WAY too large for a person's hand and you need at least 15 fingers.

Both.

But a genius of geniuses of geniuses of genius (or many people of lesser ability) could play it by "rewriting" it for one piano and two hands.

That's a good way to get around it.

This guy does a pretty good job.

Although I have to make sure, are you aware that John Stump's Death Waltz is something different?

For some reason this score was commonly mixed up on the internet for an outrageous arrangement of the theme UN Owen was her from a game called Touhou:

(PS EVEN THE VIDEO POSTER GETS IT WRONG LOL, THIS IS NOT BY JOHN STUMP)

I'm wondering how they tuned an acoustic to a digital... in different locations.  Assuming it's different locations... Maybe it's not.  Could be the same room. 

It almost looks like it needs a conductor.

It would amusing to here someone play this in a more serious event, like a church or thrown in with some xmas music maybe.

A little spastic.  And the same UN Owen labeling...

Here's a kid.  I doubt he's a genius but he's playing something like it.
