There is a simple solution to the distraction - don't look. If all you really want is pure sound anyway, why buy into the distraction by watching. Close your eyes, or if you can't keep from then dozing off, look at something else. The accompanist. Scan around the rest of the audience. It isn't just clarinetists. Watch Anne-Sophie Mutter play a violin concerto. A lot of people saw Yo Yo Ma fall backward off his riser once. And pianistic histrionics are almost unavoidable. Some of it, btw, is a natural part of the performers' feeling of connection to the music. It isn't all blatant showmanship, though some certainly is. But then, shall we next look (or not look) at conductors? Karl
