Re: Who's in charge?

Leadership is generally the same in any area of life.

I think this points up a more general divergence in conductors' view of the musicians in the orchestras they conduct. I have played for conductors who regarded the players as colleagues with whom they had come to make music together. I have played for others to whom we in the orchestra were simply tools they had at their disposal toward reaching their own, not necessarily shared, musical visions.

In either case, the conductor's decisions ruled. With conductors in the first group, their decisions included collaboration and consideration of the players' input (whether verbal or musical).
