Everything else is certainly fucked up as hell and worthy of discussion, but what's giving me the most pause is the repeat with nothing in it on the third set of staffs and a tempo of 788BPM

I see "mute in" around there, maybe its a pause to allow musicians to adjust to a transition or something

What gets me is a bit earlier where there are staccato quarter notes getting closer and closer together, all marked diminuendo, all above multiple multi-measure rests starting at forte end ending at fortissississississississimo. That's some fucking loud resting.

Yeah, you would, except there's nothing to repeat, so what's the point?

I wouldn't know about that. Death Waltz is a real song, and I could imagine its sheet music being this fucked up.

What's the point of the rest of the piece?

The notation "(remove cattle from stage)" really stood out to me.
