    Remember the video of little Jonathan aged 3 conducting to the 4th movt of BeefOven 5? Here he is aged 4:


    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

      Only on a couple of occasions with choir in fun items instigated by me. On both occasions I had excellent accompanists which made my task easier.

              The only conducting I have engaged in in public is of works such as Cage's "Atlas Eclipticalis" and the opening stone chorus of Cardew's "The Great Learning, Paragraph 1". In such cases, only tempo is indicated by the conductor.

                  Quite so, but for once I was trying to stay within the spirit of a thread, only just within, but still within.
