Someone must have played it sped up? Is the music public?

You're missing the point.

Yes, but the piece is specifically composed to be played "as slowly as possible" fwiw.

We’re missing the performance otherwise. Unless you’re immortal.

You're not missing the performance. It's playing right now, and will play your entire life. You just don't get to see what comes next, how it changes, and how it ends.

Just like life.

Fair warning, it sounds very jarring and disjointed.
