I could happily get into specifics about why these great performers struggle when on the podium, but that’s not the point. The point is simply that they are trying to be something they’re not, and I wish they wouldn’t, because it tarnishes their musical legacy.

I appreciate you noticing my continued use of non sequiturs…I try really hard to incorporate them! The names I mentioned are merely examples, tied together by the fact that they are gifted musicians and underwhelming conductors. If my assignment was in fact what you suggested, then I believe I earned a solid B to B-, which I will take.
