but here in Chicago, at the venues I visit, audience is very familiar with the artists, composers and pieces, not to mention that they can recognize great from good performance, etc.
As much as rock concert audience, they have to know about 10 to 20 simple songs from the certain group.
Now, compare that with scope of work of any well known classical composer, than add different performers of the same and on top different transcriptions.
So, are there pieces that I and classical audience in general are not familiar? Absolutely. Does not make it less enjoyable.
