Why can't a pop singer on stage, wearing earpieces, hear someone right next to her? Please see https://youtu.be/P6i0Js-aw4?t=184. This is Tiffany Young singing Not Barbie, on her Lips on Lips tour in San Francisco, dated March 15 2019. As her fan (to her right) tries to speak to her, Tiffany appears to say, and I'm reading her lips (pun intended) >I can't hear you.  |

Why do some composers gesticulate wildly, while others reserve their composure? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoZdwam7wgw is based on just one piece, Mahler's Symphony 2, and a sample size of one from which we can't conclude anything.

I've been listening to the Second Viennese School for 5 years now, and I love their music. Yet whenever I listen to a tone row, especially a new one, I can't hear its transformations in my head.
