Hold Your Applause
Wednesday, January 05, 2011
There was a time when musicians were considered peons on the social ladder and great composers remained anonymous. Both performer and composer were servants to aristocrats or the church.

While I enjoy hearing live music and applauding inspired performances, some music is just better without applause.
