What are the precautions for listening to a symphony concert?

For the audience who are new to classical music, it is a difficult problem when to applaud and when not to applaud. Here are several identification methods: one is to watch programs, most songs are marked with actions, and each action is generally marked with different speed signs; At the same time, at the end of a movement, the conductor and the band will pause a little, so that you can feel the end of the last movement; In addition, the last movements of concertos, sonatas and symphonies are mostly fast-paced; Finally, the safest way is to join the applause when everyone applauds. This is put forward in the manual. According to my experience, some listeners clap before the end of the song, which is caused by an advanced, inappropriate and enthusiastic psychology. It should also be noted that sometimes the conductor is still immersed in the music when the music falls, and his body does not move for a few seconds, as Seiji Ozawa did; So when the conductor turns to face the audience, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate time to give warm applause. There are also some exceptions, that is, the audience misunderstood that the song was over, but there was actually a reply. Therefore, there is no absolute law to follow when clapping in time and correctly. The important thing is that as your experience of listening to music increases, you will pay more attention to it.

Cough is an inevitable physiological phenomenon. Many concert halls abroad provide throat lozenges for free, and you can also bring your own cough lozenges. Care should be taken not to make noise from the packaging bag. If you cough badly, cover your mouth with a towel. If the asthma attack can't stop, it's not rude to leave at this time.

All kinds of digital and communication products and all kinds of small portable appliances, including mobile phones and audio watches, should be turned off.

During the intermission, it should be noted that when the bell rings at the beginning of the second half, you should return to your original seat in time. Generally, the bell rings twice, so you must sit still before the second bell rings.

Late comers should listen to the usher to take you in at an appropriate time, but some concerts in the west simply refuse to admit late comers.
