conductor, n.All

The Conductor is one who must give unmistakable and suggestive signals to the orchestra, not choreography to the audience.

The Conductor is one for whom the chief requirement is that he be humble before the composer; that he never interpose himself between the music and the audience; that all his efforts, however strenuous or glamorous, be made in the service of the composer's meaning.

A Conductor's whole duty is comprised in his ability to indicate the right tempo.

Conductor is a man who has the distinct advantage of not being able to see the audience.

The Conductor's principal task is not to put himself in evidence but to disappear behind his functions as much as possible. We are pilots, not servants.

Orchestral Conductors used to keep time by pounding on the ground with a large staff until a composer stabbed himself in the foot, refused treatment, got gangrene, and died.

A Conductor is a man who would rather face the music than his audience.

The Conductor is the musician most likely to get struck by lightning.

The Conductor is, when good, like good chauffeur; concentration, an incessant control of attention, and presence of mind; the conductor only has to add a little sense of music.
