As a jazz musician, I play a lot of corporate events and parties. For years I thought the crowd would get louder every time we began to play, but now I think the perception that the crowd is getting louder is a result of focus, i.e. when we begin to play we focus on sound, giving the impression

Actually for most people any music is a signal to _not_ listen and start talking. :-) That's what they are used to with pop music. When I played gigs with guitar and flute, we tried to play when they were eating, that was a lot more quiet. :-) Stephan Am 17.10.2010, 08:29 Uhr, schrieb Gary

Chris, As far as you've gone, I agree completely. But going further, expecting a solo lute - or guitar - to keep an audience's attention for a full program is optimistic. It doesn't for me, and I love the lute and its literature. More variety is needed. Lute with singer, or lute with gamba,
