15、ammers that hit the strings have to be coaxed not to sound like percussion (撞击、碰撞) and each overlapping tone has to sound clear.This problem of getting clear texture is one that confronts student conductors: they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it should sound, and they have to

16、 aim at controlling these sounds with fanatical (狂热的 ) but selfless authority.Technique is of no use unless it is combined with musical knowledge and understanding.
