Many thanks Quisling

I know its only 3 questions per quiz so can you help me with these also starting with C and R or R and C

For better- but not necessarily for worse. 4 4

Electrifying result of a misbehaving orchestra? 9 5
I have an iffy for this one but not quite sure

Can anyone enlighten me?
