Hmm, wonder if Stravinsky gained any new fans.

What a dumb idea on the conductor's part. The disappointed, finger-wagging cultural pioneer must have felt like the smartest, most refined guy in the room. By default. I know a guy like that. : )

People talking, consuming alcohol, fornicating----

What the hell was he expecting at a rave club?

Oh - that's right. He thought the crowd of ecstasy-crazed twenty-somethings were just going to suddenly freeze in their tracks and listen to a dissonant, rhythmically disruptive piece of classical music - for more than a moment.

Did the dummy conductor ever hear what they play at raves?

This entire effort was akin to deciding to cook a gourmet meal in a public restroom - and then complaining about the defecation and urination.

Thanks for posting this. It adds another chapter to my treatise called "Clueless Classical People".
