Why does someone always cough in the quiet passages during a classical music concert?
Do you know anyone who has done that? Are they aware of what they are doing? Why not stay home? Any ideas for a cure?
For the same reason that people cough during Sunday morning sermons: they’re bored.
You don’t hear very many people coughing during movies, rock concerts, or any other events which [...]
Which College? Which Path should I take?
My real aspiration is to be an actress. I am a dedicated, hard-working young woman. I get excellent grades and I am in the Top 5 in my high school. I have a good singing voice (I’ve gotten far better than what I used to be, and I’m sure I’ll be better before I graduate) [...]
Can Barber’s Adagio for string be played by a string quartet?
I would like to have a performance of this in my church for Veteran’s day but obviously we can’t have a full orchestra.
It was indeed originally the slow movement of Barber’s 1st String Quartet.

What flowers do I give a musician after a performance?
String/Wind Ensemble, both my first time to see her perform, and her first time to perform with this specific group. Any particular flowers that are classically associated with music? Or a specific bouquet/arrangement that would be appropriate?
Any nice flowers will do…..It’s the intention what counts!
Good luck to you!

Are the classical music recordings that are recorded today the real thing without any added effects?
I was listening to Bach’s Chaconne on Youtube (okay, maybe not the best source, but still…); one version from Heifetz and another from Perlman.
Heifetz’s, supposedly the greatest violinist ever, sounded amazing, but there’s that slight scratchiness in the tone and there’s no echo effect; what I mean is that when he lifts the bow [...]
