WEINGARTNER, speaking of this celebrated work, says: "Wagner's book
laid the foundation for a new understanding of the function of the
conductor, in whom we now recognise, not only the eternal factor
that holds together an orchestral, choral or operatic performance,
but above all the spiritualising internal factor that gives the
performance its very soul."
_Grove's Dictionary_ says "One of the finest of his minor
publications, and to a professional musician perhaps the most
instructive. A Treatise on _Style_, giving his views as to the true
way of rendering classical music, with minute directions how to do
it and how not to do it, together with many examples in musical
type from the instrumental works of Beethoven, Weber, Mozart, etc."
