Of course, exactly the opposite happens at a jazz performance. Applause
follows every solo - to the point that the beginning of the next solo is
often obliterated unless the rhythm section vamps for a few bars to wait
for the audience to settle down. I'm not sure either is better, just
reflective of different customs. I don't see anything wrong with an
audience's spontaneously reacting with applause to an especially
remarkable performance once a movement ends. I think it would be tedious
to have applause between movements become a custom - although, as it is,
movements are regularly separated now by fits of coughing, sneezing and
throat clearing, so maybe some polite ritualistic applause could at
least cover all the other noise.
