About this book
Orchestras in Germany, Wagner argues, suffer mainly from weak conductors, and he wrote this treatise in 1869 to set down what he had learned about conducting. He addresses singers and instrumentalists more than conductors, and looks at the concert hall and the theatre alike. He recalls Friedrich Schneider of Dessau as the last of the strict old Capellmeister. A translator's note and four appendices of extracts from his other writings accompany the text.
