If people didn't clap, how would we know the piece had stopped?

Yours just sort of dribble to an ill-defined terminus. brilliant KW! lol Salvador, Bahia, Brasil late 1990s I was working on a film with a band/people's movement called Olodum. Their band played to 30,000 people in the streets of the Pelourinho no one clapped at the end of the songs except the tourists (all five of us). I asked why no clapping and my Bahian friends told me: "Why do we need to clap, Olodum know we love them! Otherwise we wouldn't be here." Apologies to those who have heard that one before. |

I do have one well defined terminus that does have a dribble problem, but at my age,,,,,
The need for people to recieve and the need for people to give are surely different. I don't need the applause, which doesn't mean it's not nice to get it. It's also human to acknowledge others isn't it? A hand shake or a high five man, same for goodbye.

I think in some situations it makes more of a statement not to applaud than to applaud. Same as it makes more of a statement not to greet someone when you see them on the street, or not to say goodbye when you leave a party.
That's not to say all applause is out of politeness.

Truth is most people clap because they're happy it's all over, now they can talk and drink, the reason they went out.

Not sitting on the fence, just know that as an audience member sometimes I want to scream and shout with enthusiasm and other times I'm so in the zone of the music I don't want anyone to ruin the piece I'm still immersed in by adding the sound of both hands clapping. |
