I was extremely worried in the Intermezzo that I might modulate to a tonality I did not mean to, and indeed this did happen, resulting in a highly disagreeable moment when I heard the orchestra coming in in a different key to the one I had landed on. Nevertheless I quickly managed to extricate myself. and in the Finale I was quite calm and it went better. Following the violent concluding chord there was silence in the hall for a few moments. Then, boos and catcalls were answered with loud applause, thumping of sticks and calls for 'encore'. I came out twice to acknowledge the reception, hearing cries of approval and boos coming from the hall. I was pleased that the Concerto provoked such strong feelings in the audience. |
