...moronic concertgoer, whose vibrating phone ruined the impact of the climactic grand pause. However, listening to the Adagio for Strings is always a moving experience, and the melody was articulated convincingly by the orchestra’s strong viola section. From the first funereal strains of the Mendelssohn symphony, it was clear that the orchestra—filled out with full brass, wind, and timpani—had reached the part of the concert for which it was best prepared. It is hard to go wrong with Mendelssohn’s winsome opening melody, and the orchestra passed it from...

There are composers whose concertos highlight both soloist and back-up—Rachmaninoff immediately comes to mind—but the selection of night seemed merely a grandstanding opportunity for Jeong to showcase her talents...
...epileptic patients. The key, he believes, lies in the way Mozart repeated his melodies. "He turned a melodic line upside down and inside out. That gave people something interesting to listen to. Our brain loves pattern." Some of Bach's music scored highly, as did works by Mendelssohn and Haydn. But Mozart's musical sequences tend to repeat regularly every 20-30 seconds, which is about the same length of time as brain-wave patterns and other functions of the central nervous system.
