| Abstract |
The following excerpts were chosen for their value in assisting the student of conducting to build the fundamental techniques necessary for the interpretation of the standard repertoire. Most of the examples are playable by small combinations of instruments and are, therefore, functional in the conducting classroom. They are set up to be correlated with The Modern Conductor, by Elizabeth Green, and the terminolgoy used coincides with the definitions stated in that text. |
