ROYALTY:
Nicholas I of Russia had asked Liszt, the great painist, to play at Court. Right in the middle of opening number, the great musician looked at the Czar and saw him talking to an aide. He continued playing, but was very much irritated. As the Czar did not stop, Lizst finally quit playing. The Czar sent a messenger to ask why he was not playing and Lizst said; "WHEN THE Czar SPEAKS, EVERYONE SHOULD BE SILENT."
Thereafter there was no interruption in the concert..
