I remember being discouraged
>> from reading program notes while
>> the orchestra played
As a youngster, I would sometimes read program notes while listening to
a recording in order to better appreciate what is happening in the
music, if it were an unfamiliar style or selection. It enhanced my
appreciation and understanding of the music.
>> Bottom line, who cares if people applaud between movements?
Be thankful that there is an audience.
