Period Instruments: Performance Practice


In future times, and soon enough,

When folks perform Subotnik's stuff

They'll find their earnest efforts thwarted

By older tech that's unsupported.


It's then that musicology

Will study old technology

And reproduce the miles of wires

That such outdated tech requires.
