Disklavier

This capability is still in its infancy - especially where piano music is 
concerned. MIDI files separate out each musical instrument in an orchestra 
onto its own track.  Audio files have the entire orchestra playing on one 
track.  So if you have a CD where more than one instrument is playing, or an 
instrument like the piano which generates harmonics, you are out of luck.

However, if you have just one voice - a person singing, a flute or trumpet, 
etc., but not a piano, it is crudely possible.  There is software available 
for free that attempts this.

It does not work for piano music, though, because of harmonics. If the 
software hears for example, the C below middle C, it also hears middle C, 
middle G, the C above middle C, the F above middle C, etc.

My suggestion would be to find someone who plays the piano to record these 
pieces on your DKV.  You could then make different audio recordings of these 
files playing at different tempos.
