Re: early applause in Tchiakowsky's 6th.

So much for the vaunted sophisitication of San Francisco audiences. :-)

(Take it easy - I would be happy to be a member of one. I wouldn't even
 applaud in the wrong place.)

On a more provincial level, I remember a performance of Stravinsky's  
Petrouchka Suite before a Salem (Oregon) audience which failed to applaud
even at the end. 'Cause they didn't know it was the end. The conductor
(Jacques Singer for those unfortunate enough to know) retaliated by playing
the last 40 bars or so twice more, just so people would get the idea.
Well, what do you expect from a conductor who would have the orchestra play
"The Star-Spangled Banner" before each concert?
