R FOREWORD I SHOULD like to make It elear that it was not my intention in this book to discuss every prominent conductor of the past and present. My primary purpose, here, was to throw some light on the mysterious art of conducting and, with it, upon the greatest personalities that this art has produced, However, to discuss every name in baton history that has earned distinction would have cluttered these pages with repetitious material that would have bored the reader to tears. Therefore, I have followed the procedure of selecting from the mass of out standing conductors those who require special men tion either in lengthy chapters, in several pages or paragraphs cithers I have pointed to in passing There arc, to be sure, some eminent batomsts whose careers and art do not contribute any new material to our general thesis their omission from this book should not reflect unfavorably either upon their com petence or their importance CONTENTS 1 11 AFTER PAGE INTIIODUOTION, by Sorgo Koussovitzky ... 13 BOOK ONE INTRODUCTORY COMMKNTS HISTORICAL AND ANALYTICAL 1.
