I can see the scene where the D on stage is being tuned at the last minute because it arrived late, and meanwhile the lighting guys are yacking and dragging cables around, someone is repairing the conductor's stand with an electric drill, orchestra members are arriving, unpacking their instruments, and talking and tuning and tweaking their reeds, and the stage manager is walking through on a cell phone and the C&A guy has a bad cold with stuffy ears and says to Hell with it as he stealthily slips his iPod/Tunlab out of his shirt pocket, snickering all the while ... and tunes the piano.
