However, what he actually played was neither upside down nor backwards, so both of you are equally wrong. It's just a joke though. It works precisely because it's silly and makes no sense at all if you overanalyze it.

There are videos on YT of him playing that song and it's not hard to connect with his depth of feeling as he plays every note. And no jokes to be found. It's very beautifully done. I encourage you to find it.

Once in the late '60s I saw Victor Borge make a guest appearance on "The Hollywood Palace", a TV variety show. The last segment of his act that night he read aloud from a book, using what he called "sound punctuation" which involved making "air punctuation" accompanied by different sounds for each period, comma, question mark, exclamation point etc. He had the 12-year-old me literally rolling on the floor laughing so hard my sides hurt. And this was after playing "William Tell" backwards at full speed from upside-down sheet music. We'll not see anyone like him again. Rest in peace, Mr. Borge.

Mozart is said to have written some short pieces for two violins. The two musicians sit opposite each other and play the same notes from the same piece of paper lying between them, each one from his/her "top" to "bottom". It is not just backwards. The notes are also different, depending from which side you read them. It is called "mirror canon" or "mirror duet" and it sounds pretty good...
