"This part is always screwed up with a conductor, but we've played it perfectly twice," concludes
Leon Fleisher during a recent Orpheus Chamber Orchestra rehearsal of Beethoven's "Emperor"
Concerto. "This is proof that conductors should just sit down."

And of course there is Fellini's _Prova d'orchestra_ (The orchestra
rehearses [the revolution]) ... Which is an allegory of the orchestra
overthrowing the conductor and quickly progressing from socialism to
anarchism to chaos abnd back.
