Additional quotes by Pierre Monteux

Don’t conduct solo instruments in solo passages; don’t worry or annoy sections or players by looking intently at them in ‘ticklish’ passages

I never conduct any of the ballets I conducted for the Ballets Russes, without my mind's eye being completely aware of the dancers.

I regret they don't have symphony orchestras all over the world so I could see Burma and Samarkand.
