As a legacy of a Classic and Outdated Conduction Technique, many orchestral Conductors and students continue incurring unforgivable mistakes that result in nothing but mechanical products and the death of music. It seems that to them the only important thing is to mark compasses, give entries, be precise and, above all, to be very authoritarian. They don’t want to hear or speak of dreams, emotions, passion, enthusiasm, or any other "esoteric" matter, as a lot of them call it. That's why this is a "Forbidden Book" for them; what’s taught here is "diabolical", and they will surely claim it’s only a product of a deranged mind. And the problem is that human mediocrity has no limits. I am convinced that by not dreaming, that without passion, illusions, without seeing passed the obvious, in short: by being lifeless, it’s not possible to Make Music, nor do anything really worthwhile in this life. So if you're one of us, that is, of the new generation of Conductors who believes that conducting is more than just moving your arms, then congratulations: This book is for you! The Second Book on Orchestral Conducting that instead of talking about how to move your hands speaks precisely how to stop doing it.
