I am not about to tell people how they should behave, but I think there are moments when a spontaneous expression of excitement is fair enough. It all depends on the circumstances. Sometimes the costive silence you can get between movements seems more out of place than applause to me. I don't know whether Tchaikovsky intended applause at the end of the Pathetique third movement but you usually get it. Perhaps it makes the despair of the last movement all that more vivid coming straight after?

Or is this confessional having the desired effect?It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

Did they clap between movements when the Scratch played?

I don't think enough people grasp this point.
