I love it! Thanks for posting that. I was always under the impression that George Martin had played it on a harpsichord. But now I realize that the sped up recording of that solo made the piano sound like a harpsichord. It has a very Baroque texture to it, and I'm not surprised, since Martin was a classically trained musician himself.
