"Each profession must find out the roots and principles that provide an unchanging point of reference. Those principles to which we are obliged to go back again and again to maintain an adequate direction and, by carrying them out, allow oneself to be fulfilled. Orchestral Conducting is not an exception. For that reason, some ideas arise once and again, all along with this work. Since their immutability guarantees their continuance."
