Why cassettes reign supreme for a mode of listening where you approach the music on its own terms with the “need” or urge to skip.

Bouns score for Ferneyhough’s ‘Time And Motion Study II’.
A detailed, black and white musical score is displayed, featuring intricate notation across multiple staves. The page is densely filled with symbols, lines, and text, indicating various musical parameters and instructions. There are two main sections of music, separated by a horizontal line, each with its own tempo and dynamic markings. The top section is labeled "2.54" with a tempo indication of "Suddenly new movement, but erratic, then again 'heating up'," and "q=48". The bottom section is labeled "IV.1 36 approx." with the instruction "Gran Adagio" with passionate dedication and self-transcendence. Below the bottom section is a smaller text box with additional performance notes. The overall impression is one of complexity and precision, characteristic of modern classical composition.
