...because it was the norm before the twentieth century. What we have substituted is coughing between movements. When a composer ends a movement with a climax that clearly is meant to draw applause, the usual response is to discharge the desire to clap by coughing. In Beethoven's time, it was common to play single movements from symphonies. Why not now? Jazz performances continue to encourage audience participation even though clapping after every solo has become so routinized that it's lost a lot of its spontaneity.

"What we have substituted is coughing between movements."
Exactly - that coughing drives me crazy, and I'd rather there were applause to cover it.
One description of an early performance of Haydn's The Creation (Die Schopfung) mentions that the audience applauded when Haydn depicted the sun coming out, and that's in the middle of a movement! ;-)
And now, a special paragraph for Travis:24/96, DSD128, and DXD - nyah, nyah, nyah! ;-)
