                  Might that be a Skid Row Quo?...

                    Yes, as noted in #3201, although Elliott Carter would evidently have had a rather different understanding thereof (one requiring a piano and a virtuoso pianist)...

                            They'll be needed judging by this https://www.theguardian.com/environm...e-crisis-study

                            Trouble is the replacement's likely to be plastic waste?
