On the other hand, if you ARE a 3rd rate ensemble, you might as well massacre Spohr as massacre Beethoven. At least people have some reason to attend the concert then.

The luckless conductor of one such ensemble once phrased this to me slightly differently - "We've got more chance of getting away with it -  because the audience don't know the piece, and won't recognise the mistakes so easily".
