i think people hear what they want to hear and disregard the rest, as
the song goes.
a good way to avoid the whole scene altogether is to put your cell
phone to your ear, maintain your pained expression and leave...

The question has been asked: "What do you say to the performers when you
are obligated to talk to them afterward but you didn't really like the
performance all that much? Sopranos are apt to say "What a fabulous dress!"
Others might opt for "that was a very ambitious program."
If it is your obliga
is balding. Most
players know when they have had a bad performance, you telling them
something complimentary is not going to change that or make them feel
better. On the other hand a good performance calls for you to speak your
heart if the opportunity presents itself.

This question is particulary difficult for me, as I value heartfeltness
and innate taste far above technique and forma
Usually, I am so relieved to have played through a piece without missing
too many notes, that I simply say, '"I'm sure it goes something like

"Thank yuh. Thank yuh verra much." Always worked for the King.

I still do not have a gracious way to respond when someone compliments a
performance.
