Book excerpt: Well known conductor, composer, and instrumentalist, Weisberg suggests to others how to deal with the peculiarities of modern composers. The timing and rhythm are most complex, he says, and conductors must not only be able to understand it, but also to teach it to the players. He also suggests ways for composers to notate their music so that it is both representative of their ideas and is comprehensible to conductors. Includes many examples.
