Talk:Encore

message: In Israel, applause following the last number on a concert program will often change to a steady, rhythmic clapping of hands to indicate the audience's request for an encore. I hadn't noted this behavior among U.S. audiences (though admittedly have no experience there since the early 1980s). Is the practice common elsewhere? -- Deborahjay 05:58, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In France we do the same: rhythmic clapping of hands for a bis. "Encore!" or "une autre! [sc. chanson]", frequently "chanted" by the audience rhythmically with hand clapping, are typical of so called concerts de variétés, which actually means pop music or middle of the road music. I cannot imagine that one could shout une autre! (= yet another song!) in a concert (recital, opera, etc.) of art music, or even encore! (which, by the way, has slight sexual connotations). I have never listen such a thing and think it would be perceived like an incongruity. In the past, bis! was shouted ("Le père enchanté frappe des mains en criant : bis, bis" wrote Rousseau in L'Emile, but I think this custom is now bygone. At last, in French, une autre is never used as a noun like an encore in English: we only say un bis or un rappel. And a bis means that the artist plays/sings something more (or again) while un rappel is only the action of "recalling" the artist on stage whether he plays/sings something or not. A bis is generally given by the artist after several rappels. Petrus Iustinus (talk) 15:09, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rhythmic clapping as request for an encore? 

message: The French themselves, however, use the word bis in the same circumstances.) "
I'm french and I never heard "bis" in this circumstance. French people always yell "encore" at the end of a concert!
:: Yeah, let's deal with this. Someone needs to verify this, and we can make the appropriate changes. Gautam  02:42, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bis/Encore 

message: There is a slightly different meaning of "encore" in opera: it means repeating a just-performed number in response to enthusiastic applause.  Encores are considered in poor taste nowadays because they break the stage illusion.  At the Metropolitan Opera, I believe the policy is to prohibit all encores with the exception of Verdi's chorus VA, PENSIERO, which has historical importance.

replies: text: The article The Marriage of Figaro on the opera by Mozart says that at the first performance 1 May 1786, 5 numbers were encored, and then on 8 May, 7 numbers. I think this article on Encores should mention the possibility of encoring numbers, even if it is rare nowadays. Marlindale (talk) 01:31, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The article as of now has a section on bans of encores, as for vocal solos, conflicting with the usage for encores as being only at the end of concerts. Marlindale (talk) 03:14, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Citations needed where? 

message: It seems to me that the material on classical music may have a reasonable number of citations, but the material on popular music may not. Marlindale (talk) 00:12, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
