An enrollment, batch number or encore (from French: "again") is a music work that is played at the end of a concert and is not indicated in programming. Usually this is done by the public - the musicians are still performing and are called back by the applauding audience. "
The musician usually chooses an award so that the player's specific skill is emphasized, such as a virtuoso pianist who shows some technical powers of Franz Liszt, or a lyrical violinist who finally plays an enormous part such as the "Méditation" from Thais by Jules Massenet, or part of a Johann Sebastian Bach partita.
It is used that an enrollment is given only if the musician has received a long applause for his performance. The musician can then decide if he will add one or two pieces as an additional.
Some pianists brought a program that consisted largely of gifts. There are cases of recitals with up to six or seven encores.
The character of an enrollment is that it is usually a short and recognizable piece.
There are also musicians who make their entire program from encores. These kind of bonbon programs are often popular to the public because of the recognizable pieces.
In classical music performances, an enrollment is usually planned, as you can not easily play spontaneously with orchestras, choirs and other great ensembles. In solo artists, a spontaneous gift is again. In all cases, it is a small and usually less pretentious piece: a bagatelle, a march, an overture, etc. Sometimes, at traditional concerts, there are fixed assignments that the public always expects but remains outside the program. For example, the Welsh An der Schönen Blauen Danube and the Radetzkymars are played at the Viennese New Year Concert. Pop music
In the pop music, an entry is also common. Here the audience is then loud to shout, in the trance of "We want more". Usually, one or more big hits will bring the concert to a strong conclusion. Often, attendees are already on the setlist of the concert.
