Great piano play; it's not actually "rendered", but very professionally performed by a human artist!

    render 1 of 2
    verb
    ren· der ˈren-dər 
    rendered; rendering ˈren-d(ə-)riŋ 

    transitive verb

    b
    (1)
        : to reproduce or represent by artistic or verbal means : depict
    (2)
        : to give a performance of
    (4)
        : to execute the motions of
        render a salute
    c
        : translate

Well, it's Hacker News and I expected some deep learning machinery when reading "rendered in the style", not just a guy with a piano.

Anyway, the appropriate term would be "arranged" (or even "composed") in this context. The pieces are not improvised, so the arrangements/compositions in the given style existed before the performance.
