Abstract

The data gathered through dozens of activity observations focusing on the clapping rule mentioned in the etiquette of Western classical music activities, participatory observation as a chorist member in polyphonic choirs and the data collected through interviews with fifty people about this music have shaped this article. This qualitative study was carried out to understand how the non-compliance with the rule of applause was perceived by the Western classical music scene, the judgments about the audience who did not abide by the rule, the reactions to the untimely applause and the reasons for the applause. Both the field study methods and techniques, as well as the classical concert etiquette collected by literature review, were listed in a certain order. While I think that some of these items should be applied not only in activities but also in social life, I think that the etiquette in some articles such as clapping rule should not be exaggerated.
