The sheet-music staff for the last minute of the fourth movement of Beethoven student Ferdinand Ries's Second Symphony – those five lines on which the clef signs and notes and rests sit – becomes a roller coaster. As the music builds steam, so does the coaster-cam P.O.V. pick up speed, taking hair-pin turns and swooping down vertiginous drops.
