Another musical innovation of self isolation:
I ran across an article by Anthony Tommasini in the New York Times that was titled “A Jazz Pianist Flips Bach Upside Down”.
According to Mr. Tomassini, “ In March, the jazz pianist and composer Dan Tepfer found himself confined to his apartment in Brooklyn with all his bookings canceled for the foreseeable future, like musicians everywhere. So he decided to work seriously on an idea he had long been toying with.
Mr. Tepfer, 38, who also excels in classical music and has an undergraduate degree in astrophysics as well as sophisticated technology skills, wrote a computer program. He recorded himself playing Bach’s “Goldberg” Variations, beautifully, on a Yamaha Disklavier, a full grand piano with a high-tech player piano function; his program then played back each variation, but flipped.”For those interested, the entire article can be found here:

Examples of this music are below:
A similar fun exercise is to play a piece of music backward, starting at the end and ending at the beginning.
