Visual, gestural, and contextual elements of a musical performance can expand our intellectual and visceral understanding of the work itself. The "shining musical surface" of mozart's coronation mass sounds quite different in a salzburg cathedral than on a home stereo, and one might learn something new about the work from hearing it in a new visual context. For example, one might feel more justified in describing its solemn grandeur as "opulent," where one may not have before, perhaps settling for "complex," or "intricate." the justification for the description would depend on both the aesthetic qualities of a particular performance setting and the usual technical points about the score. The musicians' action in rising, blowing out their candles, and leaving, one by one, at the end of haydn "farewell" symphony adds a poignant dimension to the emotional content of the piece itself. A similar gesture made during the coronation mass might be contextually relevant or possibly downright incongruous.
