The main function of the conductor is “correlating the manifold”. With the orchestra he has to realize conjointly the specific, individual character of each piece of music and to provide the conditions for achieving the living experience of unity of expression and form. Every detail is a manifestation of conscious correlation essentially serving the emergence of a coherent entity.
