The Role of the Conductor

The role of the conductor is not really understood as well as i would like it to be. It's almost like being a director, you know, you read the script, and you have to bring the creator's words to life. So it's acting as a conduit in many ways. And perhaps that's so apropos that the term conductor was coined,. because it really, the conductor is the conduit for the musicians to each other mor the musician to the audience, for the composer to the muse tions, for the Composer to the audience.
