Summary

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. In contrast, "Classic" music, such as compositions from the Classical era, may not require the presence of a conductor as much, with the emphasis being more on precision and adherence to the composer's intentions. Consequently, conductors may be less memorable or prominent in "Classic" music performances compared to the emotionally intense and expressive realm of "Romantic" music.
