You have raised a point that I have not thought about before, but inside me thinks you are right.
Pictures at an exhibition is one of favourite classical pieces of music. To listen to that live would be pleasing enough, and also long enough. Encores at the end, of course will be unrelated to the main performance and will be challenging music to show of the abilities of the performers.
I have been to a Strauss evening before and really enjoyed the performance, as you said it lifts your mood. Then come the encores at the end, which your not always mentally prepared for, but have to listen to. The encores are always the music I forget about. So yes you have raised a valid point. I would be happy for encores to join the contents of room 101. :wink:
