In this companion volume, Battisti emphasizes the importance of a conductor' s imagination, personality, and dedication as it relates to programming, interpretation, performance, and musical leadership. The book' s discussions are augmented by comments from the following esteemed conductors: Thomas Duffy, Richard Floyd, Michael Haithcock, Craig Kirchhoff, Courtney Snyder, Emily Threinen. Chapters include: 1. The Art of Programming 2. The Challenges, Skills, Knowledge, and Experiences of the Recreative Artist/Conductor 3. Composer, Artist, and Conductor: Thoughts and Ideas Concerning Interpretation and Performance 4. Readings of the Score: Developing a " Feelingful" Image of a Work 5.
