Jacques Loussier, Benoît Dunoyer de Segonzac, André Arpino

The main difficulty was making the piano sustain music written for strings, since its sound dies away much more quickly.

Loussier and de Segonzac answer that problem in Pachelbel’s Canon by swapping melody and bass lines, while Marin Marais’s Sonnerie unexpectedly moves into 5/4.
