    Some music has always been about the performance. Watching a rock band
live, for example, is not just a matter of appreciating the quality of the
sound. What the musicians get up to on stage is almost as important. But you
might think that classical music would be immune from such distractions—doubly
so when a performance is being judged as part of a competition.
    However, a study by Chia-Jung Tsay, a concert pianist who is also a
researcher at University College,London, suggests that even judges awarding
prizes can be swayed by what they see as well as what they hear.Dr Tsay’s study,
just published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences(NAS),
employed over 1,000 volunteers (half novices and halfexperts) to evaluate the
performances of candidates in ten prestigious music competitions, to see if they
agreed with the judges’ decisions. Each volunteer assessed 30 performances—the
top three from each competition. The catch was that only a third of volunteers
were shown the performances accompanied by the sound track. The other two-thirds
got either to see each performance or to hear it, but not both.
