Ives, The Cage: Evenly and Mechanically, No Ritard., Decresc., Accel., Etc

This document contains a musical score titled "Ives, The Cage". The score depicts the movements of a leopard in its cage over the course of a day as observed by a boy. It consists of a series of symbols representing the leopard's pacing and movements from one side of the cage to the other, only stopping to eat when the caretaker brings food. At the end, the boy wonders aloud "Is life anything like that?". The entire piece is meant to be played evenly and mechanically with no changes in tempo, volume, or expression.
