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.

Your Wikipedia link is broken. Underscores are formatting marks, they make text italic
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
Remember BBcode?
I must have used it, as I used BBSes, but that was long enough ago that I have forgotten a lot

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.
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.

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

Thankfully they don't need a conductor 😅
They are no octopus capable for this, they have Danny
At first I thought, this was the same beats, just with staggered emphasis, but no, that's 30 eighths in the timespan of 14 eighths.
So, it's like the bassoons are playing sixteenth notes, except that they're decidedly not in sync with everyone else.
At first it'll sound like they're too early. Then their offbeat sixteenth will sync up with the on-beat for everyone else. Then their offbeat will sound like it's too early compared to the on-beat, until they sync up properly again. Well, and then you do that cycle a second time, because they have to fit two extra notes in there.
Yeah, that does seem quite impossible to conduct, but even if you set up two metronomes, that'll throw even good orchestras quite easily...
it's fair play for making the drummers play polyrhythms. I'm sure you can manage it with two hands.
