I got to admit: I've never understood the protocol at a classical recital. Perahia comes to the close of his piece, a kick ass performance, but while clapping isn't allowed apparently coughing and seat-squirming are perfectly acceptable. Why don't they clap in the pauses? Why don't they clap during the performance? People clapped for Monk or Bird or Mingus whenever they came with the solo groove where's the love for big Murray?
