There is more to conducting than the performance. The rehearsals play
into it as well. I recall hearing an LP that had the conductor
(Walter? Furtwangler?) leading the orchestra during a rehearsal and
explaining how he wanted it done. Jenn can surely talk about this with
more expertise than I can, but to think that an orchestra performance
could be replicated by a robot is purely imbecilic.
