Summary: 

Last night on Live from Lincoln Center, Andre Watts (sp?) played a Chopin
Etude as an encore with a great gotcha ending.  Just when it sounded over,
the audience began applauding, but he started this low trill in the bass.
When the audience realized the mistake and stopped, he simply ended the trill
and played the real final chord.  Wonderful!  But I don't know the number
of the Etude.

Also he broke a string during the first Gershwin prelude, but continued the
concert when it was cut out.  That was exciting.

It occurs to me that there's another kind of gotcha - that's when the audience
isn't sure the piece is over.  This category is larger because it includes
almost every piece that has a quiet ending.  For example, Also Sprach
Zarathustra.
