Description This authoritative compilation of essays by conductor Felix Weingartner (1863-1942) features the title essay, which discusses the performing difficulties and interpretation questions involved in Beethoven's 9 symphonies. Also included are his 'On Conducting' and 'The Symphony Since Beethoven,' both attesting to the belief that art is at its best when an 'exceedingly delicate balance is attained between the feeling and the intellect.'
