		At the same time they were beginning to understand why the halls such as Vienna's Musikvereinsaal, Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, and Boston's Symphony Hall were so successful: specifically, their relatively small size, their shape and comparatively narrow width with side balconies, combine to provide strong, early reflections.

		In toto, the hall is the best balance I have heard acoustically and lends itself to all forms of music better than most.
