Compare a solo piano piece to an orchestrated version of the same piece, or an orchestral piece to a piano transcription of it, and the performance of the piano version is almost always much more flexible in tempo. | |

An uncannily accurate beat is a distinguishing characteristic of music played on Synthesia (look up Youtube videos of it), giving it a highly unnatural feeling. | |
