And how about after an especially impressive cadenza or the first fast section of the Liszt sonata? Pretty soon we may as well be at the ballet -- which I avoid for this very reason (among others).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18540063.post-1165842558937696802006-12-11T08:09:00.000-05:002006-12-11T08:09:00.000-05:00Can I join your movement?It seems to me that inter...Can I join your movement?<BR/><BR/>It seems to me that inter-movement clapping happens more often at populist concerts and is executed by people who have already given the impression that they are unfamiliar with the context. Fair enough, we all have massive chasms of ignorance. But, surely, in an unfamiliar setting, it's just good manners/common sense to observe and comply with what the majority are doing (with obvious caveats of course!)<BR/><BR/>Even worse than inter-movement applause is premature ejaculation. Eg, the singer has shut up and the curtain is beginning to fall, so the act is over, even though in the pit some bloke is still sawing away on his fiddle and some bird tootling on her oboe.<BR/><BR/>Or familiar pieces of music that have a pause just before the final denouement - Thais Meditation for example.<BR/><BR/>At a JDF concert the other night. He held the final B flat of La donna e mobile for two years, inviting a gradual crescendo of applauseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
