The critic
Usually very knowledgeable about classical music, and someone who truly loves it. But the critic is rarely able to truly enjoy the concert because the whole time they will be thinking of clever ways to either diss or compliment the experience in words.

haha that's great!! I probably have fallen, or will fall into each category listed there at LEAST a dozen or so times. I think there's one more category you're missing... the "Wannabe Groupie." Ya know, that one super-nice guy who hangs out backstage before, during, and after the performance stalking the musicians and guest artists that he's met ONCE before, but acts like they're all his best friends? Then tags along awkwardly when they all go out for drinks afterwards, and won't talk about anything other than music? He'll go home later that night, sign-up for monthly emails of his favorite new String Quartet, then obsessively demand comp tickets to all their concerts.
Which is why I prefer writing previews!
