"We seem to have set up some very arcane rules as to when it is actually OK to applaud."
Rules
"The sheer force of the music calls for a wild audience reaction."
Music
"Even if you don't like a concert of mine, please, please applaud at the end anyway."
End
"We should welcome applause whenever it comes."
Applause
"Sometimes I wish that applause would come just a bit later, when it is so beautifully hushed that I feel like holding my breath in the silence of the end."
Applause
"I have been trying to find out exactly when listeners and performers decided that applause between movements would not be allowed, but nobody seems to have been willing to admit that they were the culprit."
Applause
"Mozart often wrote to his family that certain variations or sections of pieces were so successful that they had to be encored immediately, even without waiting for the entire piece to end."
Family
"If the audience walks out of a concert thinking, What a wonderful experience, then we have done our job."
Experience
"I have always thought that my ear is also very influenced by my eyes."
Thought
"Pianists don't argue too much generally because we have such a hard time just getting things right; arguing is for string players."

"How people feel when they are returning home from an absence, long or short, I did not know: I had never experienced the sensation. I had known what it was to come back to Gateshead when a child after a long walk, to be scolded for looking cold or gloomy; and later, what it was to come back from church to Lowood, to long for a plenteous meal and a good fire, and to be unable to get either. Neither of these returnings was very pleasant or desirable: no magnet drew me to a given point, increasing in its strength of attraction the nearer I came. The return to Thornfield was yet to be tried."
