Conducting is really fun if you get the desired result. If you dont get it, conducting might be a burden instead. But it is all up to you. Some people might not have the personal dynamic to be a conductor. Conducting requires a leader personality absolutely, The better you know a piece, the easier as you can predict how it will continue.
Well, conducting costs a lot of energy, thus not many fat conductors. Most are quite in a slim shape. It is some kind of an elite sports. I could conduct two full orchestra rehearsals of Walkuere last year. That was great fun or better a great experience (means fun in a somewhat "elevated" way - conductors stand elevated anyway !). ============================================================ ============================================ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel Canarutto Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2008 1:07 PM To: The Horn List Subject: Re: [Hornlist] The fun of conducting!

As an experienced amateur player, I'd say that your suggestions are quite reasonable. But I could never realize how conducting can actually be fun.
