On authority

My friend, Aldo Matteucci, sent me this.  I would like to know more.
Maybe some of you have even seen the book.


Frauchiger, Urs. 1982. Was zum Teufel ist mit der Musik los (Bern:
Zyglogge).
 69 ff: The first to conduct was Carl Maria von Weber, in 1817, at
Dresden, followed by the composers Spohr and then Mendelssohn.  At the
time, Schumann pointed out the contradiction between the conductor's
baton and republican principles -- it was perceived  then as a political
act.
