speaking of folks calling out in another thread I then came across this quote by Leopold Stokowski, conductor. He was reprimanding a talkative audience.. in May 1967.

"A painter paints his pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. We provide the music, and you provide the silence.."

love it!
