Editorial Review
Wagner initiated Romantic image of the conductor as fiery, omniscient dictator of the podium. Here are his eloquent essays on role of the conductor, musical interpretation, many other topics. Still exciting and valid for the modern reader.

Wagner the Conductor 
2001-06-08
This fascinating little book started life as a newspaper article titled "Uber das Dirigiren" in 1869. Wagner directed it at instrumentalists and vocalists, rather than conductors.
It is a practical record of Wagner's experience as a conductor. Besides being a composer, Wagner was a kapellmeister of considerable experience. During his lifetime, the job of conductor was undergoing tremendous change. It is quite interesting to read Wagner's thoughts on the subject.
Highly recommended.
