In this book he does not seek to explain how it is done, but he has set down some of his own deepest thoughts on the subject of Music, to which his whole life has been dedicated. In the course of it he enunciates certain basic truths about the function of the conductor and the relationship between conductor and audience which wil be of immense help to all thinking listeners.)
