Summary

This quote suggests that the applause from the audience is so overwhelming and enthusiastic that it seems as if they are using the music being played merely as a pretext for their applause. The phrase "thundering with such force" emphasizes the intensity and passion of the audience's response. It implies that the ovation is not simply a genuine appreciation for the music, but a showy display of support and admiration, perhaps indicating ulterior motives or exaggeration in the audience's reaction.
