The most famous octave passage ever played by 8 pianists at once. The passage contains 384 notes (96 double octaves), which means that the 8 combined pianists play 3072 notes, give or take a few, in about 16 seconds; that's about 192 notes per second. This was inspired by the following two videos of 16 pianists playing this passage one after the other.
