Thread Name: Vocal appreciation from the audience
Subject: RE: Vocal appreciation from the audience
In Mozart's time is was the done thing to clap and cheer even in the middle of movements. By the 1970s in classical concerts you were considered a buffoon to be silently snarled at if you so much as indulged in polite applause between movements. "Huh, didn't he realise that this is a SYMPHONY, not four separate tunes!" Good to hear a lot more cheering and clapping coming back. Let's unstuffify music!
