- Yuck! What bad showpersonship! The program should have programmatic info,
- or short descriptions of poetic ideas that might help the audience get in the
- right frame of mind, or, in the case of a particularly oddly-constructed
- piece, a description of how the piece ends, so the audience will not have
- to suffer embarrassingly as they try to figure out when to applaud or hiss.
- Technical information like the number of verses, the tone row, and the
- peculiar twist on sonata form belong in technical seminars.
