Excerpt from Essentials in Conducting In order to have his directing at the public perform ance function properly, it thus becomes the conductor's task to plan and to administer the rehearsals in such a way that the performers may become thoroughly familiar with the music, both in technique and in Spirit. In other words, the conductor must play the part of musical manager as well as that of artistic inspirer, and if he does not perform his task in such fashion as to be looked up to by the members of his chorus or orchestra as the real leader, and if he himself does not feel confident of being able to do his work better than any one else upon the ground, he cannot possibly be successful in any very high degree. A conductor must first of all be a strong leader, and failing in this, no amount of musical ability or anything else will enable him to conduct well. We shall have more to say upon this point in a later chapter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from On Conducting I This passage will become clearer to the 'reader if he will refer to the score of the overture. If the tempi recommended by Herr wein gartner are adopted, it is evident that since one bar of the allegro a third of a bar of the introduction, three crotchets in the former one minim (or two crotchets) in the latter. The allegro is thus faster than the introduction in the proportion of 3 to 2. By abstaining from taking the allegro so fast that the proportion would be as 4 to 2, the tempo is not rapid enough to need any holding-back at the place wagner discusses. [tr.

Excerpt from Essentials in Conducting In putting out this little book, the author is well aware of the fact that many musicians feel that conductors, like poets and teachers, are "born and not made"; but his experience in training supervisors of music has led him to feel that, although only the elementary phases of conducting can be taught, such instruction is nevertheless quite worth while, and is often surprisingly effective in its results. He has also come to believe that even the musical genius may profit by the experience of others and may thus be enabled to do effective work as a conductor more quickly than if he relied wholly upon his native ability. The book is of course planned especially with the amateur in view, and the author, in writing it, has had in mind his own fruitless search for information upon the subject of conducting when he was just beginning his career as a teacher; and he has tried to say to the amateur of today those things that he himself so sorely needed to know at that time, and had to find out by blundering experience. It should perhaps be stated that although the writer has himself had considerable experience in conducting, the material here presented is rather the result of observing and analyzing the work of others than an account of his own methods.

Excerpt from Handbook of Conducting The finest faculties of hearing differ in many respects. For example, there are musicians able to detect the slight est inaccuracy of any note in any interval from a given note, who, nevertheless in the absence of an instrument or tuning fork cannot name correctly a note when desired. Another who can do this, and to whom it is a matter of certainty '(the faculty being inborn), can hardly understand that it is not also the case with everyone else.
