    I love hearing an audience alive with laughter and chatter. Obviously it's important to be quiet and respect the musicians, but it adds a lot of life to the music. It's just neat to hear so many people connect with and find humor in the woman's reaction to the music

      @@TigerPrawn_ I agree! Sometimes the complete silence is nice because you can focus completely on the music, but I grew up doing theatre and it was common to applaud/cheer anytime a performer did something amazing, and I wish we did stuff like that with classical music. It's for this reason I've never really understood the no clapping between movements rule. Sometimes the orchestra does such a wonderful job, and I wish it was more acceptable to clap for them.

      Actually, that's up for debate. Maybe he meant it this way when he edited the piece for the suite version, but in the original ballet version it doesn't come as such a big surprise. It's the climax to an already very tense part. It's basically a magical standoff between the Firebird and the evil sorcerer Kostchei. Well, not really a standoff considering the sorcerer doesn't stand a chance in the slightest, but still.

    This has happened to me in a very similar orchestrated piece, and I have to say the responded laughter of the audience was delightful. The people here are laughing not just because of the scream, but because many, most, if not all of them, felt a little jump in their heart when the music came in, and when their brain registered that someone had YELPED they couldn't help but laugh because they *identified* with that surprise themselves. The laughter is not just at the person who screamed, but at themselves as well, and in that way they are laughing with each other. It's a very humanly cute moment to have captured here!

That was some good motivation, man we had some fun with that performance :)

    I love classical music. Some of the most awe-inspiring pieces of music to exist, and always up to listeners to interpret what they're hearing. Context always matters but one of my favorite experiences was listening to a local radio station and the dj stating how the one that wrote the piece put the title after all the music with the intention that the conductor would also say the title at the end of the performance. The idea was to let listeners try to draw out the intended meaning of the piece without prior input from the title. I tried it and I guessed the title wrong but I thought back to certain parts and it made much more sense with the context.
