The blog of conductor Jason Weinberger

'German pre-Romantic philosopher, Johann Georg Hamman, held that music was given to man to make it possible to measure time: We do not measure time regularly, like clocks do, but with many differing rates of speed.'

At the onset of another year of regularly measured time Charles Rosen reminds us of the much more varied and elastic sense of time inherent in music. This is the technical element of conducting I ponder most as I develop interpretations, and an aspect of the art form which fascinates me endlessly.
