Orchestral Performance: A Guide for Conductors and Players

By Christopher Adey

In some ways it is easy to conduct a professional orchestra; if your technique is poor or your ear less acute, the players can make up for it and produce some sort of performance. But in front of a youth orchestra the conductor has to show a knowledge of playing techniques and an organizational ability immensely greater than the professional. He or she needs to know in detail not just when to put things right, but how.
