Well, not quite. Sheet music is quite playable after many centuries.

I think the people and orchestras hunting down historic instruments to
recreate the original setting for certain pieces will disagree with you

Well, I did say this with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek while

be playing it with totally different instruments, etc. ... I'm sure that
Papa would recognize his tune. My point is that a piece of paper is very
"archival" ... a piece of tape or a shiny plastic disk in 100 or 200 years?
