"conductors know how to fucking fly" is a phrase that deserves to be in a book.

Et puis tu étais si belle et si ambitieuse...et moi si désabusé...de tout...

Love the triple chin Oboe-man has got going on there. Groovinnnnn

[Giogio Iosdiouo]

With so many instruments playing the same page, it's very easy to loose control without a condutor. His job is to provide a standard tempo so that ppl won't be playing on their own but playing ''together''

Thanks for the reply! I enjoy talking about things like this so it's nice to have someone to discuss it with. :D

I'm not arguing for intent or meaning. If there is a specific meaning to a particular work, that potentially requires knowing the creator. However, I'm arguing for beauty, value and like/dislike. A work's beauty and value is still separate from the person who created it and it doesn't matter what kind of person they are. As a matter of logic, these are still two separate entities.
