Reminds me of a performance of Tchaikovski's 1812 Overture, using real
cannon, which had to be fired by real soldiers, at the command of a real
officer, on the other end of a military telephone to a musician at safe
range.  I watched the musician desperately giving his commands earlier and
earlier to try to prevent the shots being late.
