Albuquerque’s new symphony debuted last night. They were great. They are the same musicians as were in
the organization that went bankrupt, so it was no surprise they played so well.
The audience was very supportive, and a couple dozen of them
only clapped at the wrong time in four different places.
Not a record, but nothing sounds sillier than hearing
enthusiastic clapping drain away after two or three smacks of the hands.
I’m going to suggest they install a little green light on
the conductor’s platform. That way
the patrons who don’t know the difference between the end of a movement and the
end of the piece will know when to clap.
You know, give ‘em the green light.
