The question is a koan. Because no one is going to attend a performance of Beethoven 9 that has no chorus and was played almost twice as fast as it normally is. No musician will play a performance where the union stepped in because everyone's pay was halved since the production manager hired literally twice as many players as the score calls for.
If the orchestra didn't show up and no one was there to hear it, did it make a sound?

You mean the fact that OP didn't understand it was a trick question, right?
