concert etiquette .... revisited

This specifically came up recently in an "Applause" thread on the AMS listserve (American Musicological Society). But I lost track so I don't know what the consensus was.

When I saw it performed at the KC by the Cleveland Orchestra, the conductor just swept right on through not giving anyone a chance to applaud, cough or even move a muscle. I think it is accepted, but I think if it can be avoided, it will be. The cause of the 'rude' applause is that the quiet ending of the 3rd movement is mistaken as the symphony's ending. So the applause is still a faux pas and I guess if the conductor can prevent it, he/she will.

The third movement ends moderately loud and fast; the movement is marked Allegro molto vivace (very fast and lively). It's the "triumphant" nature of the movement's ending that elicits applause, plus the overall tone sounds like a final movement. In a typical four-movement symphony, the third is typically a scherzo, which this particular movement is definitely not. What gives the symphony its "Pathetique" nickname is the fourth and final movement, marked Adagio lamentoso (slow and profoundly sad). Most recordings have a typical few seconds pause between the movements. On a recording of the work by Sergiu Celibidache (live, of course), the conductor takes a Mahlerian pause between the movements, and it sounds just right.

Clearly I am still learning, but thank you for making it clear to me.

That'd be hilarious to have a Dee Dee Ramone guy conducting the orchestra so he could yell ONETWOTHREEFOUR between movements

10. If you manage to get by me and you end up standing directly in front of my wife and are 8" taller than her, dont get all pissy when she pokes you in the small of the back every 10 seconds.

I'm 6" even, and for some shows, I definitely want to be up front, so I make the effort of getting there early in line to be guaranteed this spot. When smaller/shorter people come up behind me, I generally tell them to try their best not to stand behind me, and I'll try and set up windows between me and the person I'm standing next to, but aside from that, I make NO accommodations to shorter people when I'm on the barricade. I feel that if you're short and you know you want to be up front, make that much more of an effort to be there early and near the front of the line. Womp womp.

This is under the "must" portion and not the "don't" portion, right?

I'm not allowed on the cereal aisle when shopping because I do the My Cocoa Puffs part of the video.

I had a feeling you'd be the one to pick up on that.

#whatever we're on:

Beach Balls. Just say no.

#whatever+1

I don't care if you drink. I don't care if you're drunk. But don't start or get into fights, especially when you send other people to the ER. Don't be a goddamn motherfucking prick ass rude cocksucking asshole.

(see: drunk girl last year at DMB. No, my bf wasn't hitting on you, no, *I* wasn't hitting on you, and no, the goddamn BEACH BALL DIDN'T NEED TO BE LIBERATED)

Sorry for the language. Just realized I need to finish paying off the rest of the $500 I still owe to them.
