I came up with this in ~5 minutes, so perhaps I will elaborate on the list whenever I can think of something witty.
- Do you prefer short pieces over long pieces?
- Do you ever go alone?
- If somebody asks you about your musical preferences, do you think of countries of origin, time periods or specific composers?
- If you had to pinpoint it down to a specific year, when do you think “modern music” starts? “Contemporary”?
- Do you prefer to sit on towards the left side or towards the right side of the orchestra?
- If you have a preference, does it depend on the type of piece being played?
- Do you like conductors giving an introduction to the pieces?
- Have you ever paid full price?
- Do you speak to other people next to you?
- If yes, have you ever made a friend by doing so?
- When you see an Asian person and there are no other ways for you to determine it, would you rather assume s/he is Chinese or Japanese?
- Have you ever shouted “bravo”?
- Do you stand up to clap after the performance?
- Do you prefer modern-looking or classical-looking venues?
- What do you think is the worst: coughing, snoring, clapping so loud that your ears hurt, or singing along a particularly melodic tune?
- Do you know why Wagner is never being played in symphony orchestras?
1. No.
2. No.
3. Countries and Composers, but not time period. Perhaps because I just don’t know enough about time periods of classical music.
4. See above!
5. Center is of course the best, but on the left.
6. No.
7. No!
8. Yes, in Atlanta no less.
9. No.
10. N/A.
11. Chinese.
12. No.
13. No.
14. Classical looking for sure, but if there were any really good modern looking venues, I might change that. Still want to check out Tully Hall.
15. Singing along!
16. No idea, but it makes me a little sad.
Oh Gott, einige der Fragen sind ja so typisch Max Frisch in ihrer Konstruktion! <3 <3 <3 Vor allem 3.-6. und 9.-11. XD
Haste schön gemacht! <3
Mangels konstanter Konzertbesuche werde ich nicht antworten… ㅠ.ㅠ
Deshalb heißt’s ja auch “Fragebogen” ;) Ich wollte ursprünglich einen Opern/Orchester-Artikel draus machen, aber dann ist mir aufgefallen, dass die Opernfragen einfach nicht wirklich dazu passen… Z.B. schlafen Leute in Opern eigentlich seltener ein, und das Husten ist weniger nervig (oder passiert sogar seltener), es gehen auch weniger Asiaten in Opern als ins Orchester.
Ich dachte, die Frisch-mäßigsten Fragen sind 15 und 16 mit ihrer Pointenhaftigkeit?! XD
