The oft-disputed question as to how far it is
Lawful for Choral conductor to create u "reading" is answered by Dr. Watson in an Interview reported in the current number of the Murical Herald Dr. Wation, whose con section with the Manchester Vocal Society dates from go years back, says, “I should take it for granted that no conductor would Introduce alterations without due thought and considera- Hoo, but our music nowadays is much over- marked. The player or vocalist is told too much, thinks too title, and becomes, as it were, i hardy-gurdy, of which the composer turns the handic. There are shades of expression which cannot be wiltlen, and it is just here that one chols excels another in
the performance of any given ́pleco. Deviations from routine in tempt, and other marks of expression are, I hold, permissible to any, reasonable extent that may be considered a real improve- ment. I constantly alter demóf and every form of expression mark, and I take the responsibility. for better or for worse, when I do so, I could show you many such iterations. Of course, I always carry out the compaser's thoughts in the main, and there are composers with whore wishes it would be presumptuous for any musicians to umper. But even the composer hitself is not in every case the best judge of the best way of reading bla own works. I hold that both conductor and vocalist, if of sufficient experience and'ability, should have a free hand to bestowing on the music the fire and vigour of his own personality,"
