an 'experiment' like this is why there's still a very active stereotype of pretentiousness within classical music. especially considering how few people get worthwhile education in arts and music outside of college / university.

really though, i'd be curious to know the results had they flipped the time around. as opposed to seeing if people would notice a quality musician on their way into work (as if), how about at the end of the day. once the stress of the professional day is over i'd be inclined to believe more than a half dozen people would stop and listen.
