Abstract

As conductors of other composers' music, Mendelssohn, Berlioz, and Wagner professed the desire to be faithful in some sense to the conducted work, but each understood this fidelity differently. Mendelssohn and Berlioz saw performance as recreative, while Wagner was the first to regard it as a creative or interpretive act.
