With the arrival of public venues for music-making, audiences slowly learned the formal applause rituals that still largely prevail today (although not at pop concerts!).
But Mozart didn't mind when an audience clapped during his music and French opera in the 19th century was renowned for its 'claques' of professional applauders who would do almost anything for money.
