They must, and I apparently missed the memo. We almost always attend
the Friday night concert of the El Paso Symphony; they will clap
between every movement, sometimes they will even try to clap if there
is something like a grand pause in the music.

We decided to go to a Saturday performance of the same concert cycle
since we liked it so much. Nobody clapped until the true end of the
pieces.

Several of the EPSO musicians say its the darndest thing - the Friday
audience almost always claps and the saturday audience almost never
does!
