I attended a concert of the Mozart Requiem several years back where on his
curtain call, the conductor held up his copy of the score and Mozart (alas,
not present!) received a hearty round of applause. I thought that was a
very classy thing for the conductor to do.
Thanks for reviving this discussion, Linda! I *still* think it's interesting!
