Forget not that I am a derp.
Tonight only, the Canterlot Royal Concert Hall is pleased to present the Melody Quartet delivering a performance unlike anything you've heard before.
Of course, the question is whether that's a good thing...

Although it's not surprising to see a 'John Cage 4'33" Contest' story using the idea of a silence based performance in parts of it...
It IS surprising to see such a story with so many plot twists.
This is certainly a wild tale to navigate.
The End was quite the curveball, seeing how Pettyness is usually not the Reason for Ponies disapperaing in Equestria and Beyond.
I'm usually not fond to people ascribing artistic choice to simple blunder disguised with snobbery as a critique of modern art. I'll let you get away with it this one time, gadget.
I suppose it's the Canterlot equivalent of Manehattan's "Famous Original Rain's" phenomenon.
I assume Fancy Pants knew that everyone in the
cheapslightly less expensive seats could hear everything he was saying, plain as day. I further assume such a thing never dawned on the other occupants of the Royal Box.The funniest line was the narrative response to Blueblood's jazz speculation.

Fancy was absolutely presenting his argument to the lower galleries, yes.
It has been thoroughly established that many, most, if not all natural phenomena are caused by ponies. Have you considered then, that the thin air of Canterlot is not in fact a function of the altitude, but caused by the sheer quantity of wind bags hogging it all? Between Blueblood and his posse they're certainly full of enough hot air that it wouldn't be surprising that there's hardly any atmosphere left to go 'round for the rest of us, don't you think?
Three days warning for a concert? Good save on Fancy’s part.
Custodians!
