A Brief History of Conducting: Yesterday, today... and tomorrow?

By Aldo Ceccato

What does it mean to conduct the orchestra today? This book traces the figure of the orchestra conductor since his birth - in the middle of the eighteenth century - up to what could be his future, which seems to be in danger... With pages taken from the great literature - Wagner, Berlioz, De Sabata and others - the volume offers ideas both for the simple lover of classical music and for the specialist.
