The symphony is notable for its multilayered complexity—typically requiring two conductors in performance

I can’t imagine that this is pleasant to listen to.

This reminds me of Marcel Durchamp, the guy who decided a urinal was art and everyone just went along with it cuz they weren't brave enough to say it was stupid.

Your Wikipedia link is broken. Underscores are formatting marks, they make text italic

Ives symphony No. 4

I think my version of the link may be broken in some clients. It works in the web version and Boost

I don't think there's any way to make the link work without making it a normal hyperlink format, which removes the special meaning of the underscores

That seems to be an issue with your frontend. The Lemmy web view displays the link correctly.

Entirely possible. Boost used to be a Reddit client and probably has Reddit flavour to its formatting.

I'm not all the way through it but the first part is pretty cool

it's fair play for making the drummers play polyrhythms. I'm sure you can manage it with two hands.
