Technique is communication: the two words are synonymous in

Summary

This quote suggests that technique and communication are closely linked in the role of conductors. In the context of conducting music, technique refers to the skills, tools, and understanding required to effectively control an ensemble. However, the quote suggests that this technical mastery is not meaningful if it doesn't facilitate communication. Conductors must be able to effectively transmit their intent, interpretation, and musical ideas to the musicians they are leading. In this sense, technique becomes a means of effective communication, allowing conductors to express their artistic vision and connect with the musicians to create a unified performance.
