Re-shoeing Schumann...

That sounds like quite an overhaul.
Strouble for Stravinsky.

I recall one of my college lecturers claiming Stravinsky paid for these disruptions. :D
Time was when people actually raced to hear new music...

I suppose there was a lot of forgotten music over the dam in those concerts but it would have been cool to be there to hear it.

I once saw a couple leaving a performance of the Rite by the NY Phil in the 1980's (!) But maybe they didn't like Mehta's conducting...
Also sat next to someone who left a controversial production of Guilliermo Tell at Covent Garden half-way through the overture. At that point, just give the ticket to a student.

This policy pays "$1000 a week" for the loss of a finger. Until it grows back, I guess.

When I see someone leaving a classical concert early I usually think... bladder trouble!
But I recall a Dallas Symphony concert that had a newly commissioned work on the first half and overhearing an elderly woman a row in front of me saying to her friend, "If the second half isn't any better, you can find me... AT THE BAR!"

Better than the current state of affairs. What's new now is... Already tired and old more often than not...
