Too funny. That it says "for tacet" is an understatement, and reminds me of my favorite music joke (where the drummer starts whailing away, thinking the notation said "take it")
I was actually pretty disappointed when I saw the sheet music. If I did it I would have written out the whole score, calculated the time as beats per minute and the number of measures, changed keys in the middle, changed time signatures, specified specific instruments, put in codas and crescendos etc. Just all the measures would have rests in them.
