Of course it was five seconds early, but I believe that there is nothing really important to talk about when only one or two members in an audience of more than 2000 clap before it&#8217;s really over. On Saturday I felt that the tension in the entire audience was very high. They were concentrated and alert. One clapped. Enthusiastically. No big deal. Monday &#8211; silence in the Schnitz after the Pathetique was over, and after I relaxed quietly. The feeling for everybody was nice of course. But all in all I do not want to take command of the crowd in terms of telling them when it is appropriate to applaud.
