This quote suggests that conductors primarily gain recognition and success through conducting "Romantic" music, which typically evokes strong emotions and showcases the conductor's interpretative skills.

Looking through the telescope, one saw a circle of deep blue and the little round planet swimming in the field. It seemed such a little thing, so bright and small and still, faintly marked with transverse stripes, and slightly flattened from the perfect round. But so little it was, so silvery warm
