New example for the history of aberrant concert audiencing: an unexpected cry amidst a performance of Tchaikovsky. On the surface, it rubs against expectations for reverent attention to the work. Or does it? Was the response sexual? sensual? narcoleptic? musical? Can we identify the ecstatic individual from the crowd? Did the musicians, in turn, break from their collective role? Is everyone ok? #audience #AudienceStudies #ConcertEtiquette #MusicReception
