Multi-Movement WorksTo Clap or Not To Clap, That Is The Question
• Many Classical pieces contain more than one Movement (or section/chapter).
• Clap ONLY after the last movement• For Example:
Symphony No. 5 in C minor (Ludwig von Beethoven)
I. Allegro con brioII. Andante con motoIII. AllegroIV. Allegro

Applause• Stage Entrances/Exits
– Try to applaud until the performer (s) enter/leaves the stage– With large ensembles, the entrance is for the Conductor, concert master
(1st violin-orchestra or clarinet player-band)– Conclusion of the concert.– Stage calls: At the conclusion of concerts, performers often return to the
stage to acknowledge the audiences applause. Applaud until the performer has entirely exited the stage.• Standing ovations: Done when simple applause won’t do. Stand when you
feel the music warrants such praise and/or when the majority of the audience stands.
• After all movements of Multi-movement works (Look for the Movement Listings in the program)
• In Jazz: clapping or otherwise acknowledging a soloist is expected even as the music plays on
• Take the cues from the performer on when to clap.• When in Doubt, Don’t.

• Classical:– Casual dress has become more accepted (especially at
school sponsored events)– Professional events require more formal attire:

form
