For both faculty and visiting artists, I make myself available at
intermission and go backstage. I then ask the artist if there is anything
they feel needs to be done. Usually, unless a string has broken or some
other catastrophe has occurred, they say "No, it sounds just fine, thank
you."

I then go back to my seat and _enjoy_ the second half with a clear
conscience.....;-)
