By gosh, a flat screen computerized stand. What next?
Instead of requiring sheet music, orchestras can keep all of their music in
vast databases. Instead of a stand, there will be a flat screen. Notes will
dance by, maybe with a little annotation programmed in by the conductor
(LOUDER PLEASE!).

Then there will be auto-tuning. Peterson will learn how to differentiate
among violins, and warn players when they are out of tune instantaneously in
a pop-up screen.

Something tells me that seeing an array of flat screen monitors on a stage
at Carnegie Hall will somehow spoil the view . . .
