Piano Sheet Music

I never really learned to play the piano, but I could pick-out a tune if I had music and piano available.  What I just realized, and maybe will try, should I ever have music and a piano, is to turn the sheet music on its side.

The problem with sheet music is that higher and lower notes are arranged along a vertical line, but the keyboard runs horizontally left to right. It seems as if it would be easier if what you saw mapped to the finger positions. You'd have to read the music top to bottom instead of left to right, but I don't think that's a challenge.

An additional advantage would be that the bass cleft would be on the left and the treble on the right, just like the hands which play them.
