Even as a schoolboy he was introduced to the world of music by a family friend, Frank Schuster who was a friend of Elgar and introduced the young Boult to the composer.

 Wilhelm Furtwängler
His skills were almost completely self-taught, though he certainly learned a thing or two by observing Arthur Nikisch, then music director of the Berlin Philharmonic and Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestras, and the preeminent conductor of his time.
Nikisch too had enormous stage presence and charisma, and a hypnotic power over his audiences and musicians, and Furtwängler resolved to follow in Nikisch's footsteps.
His mere presence in a room could change the sound of his orchestra, according to Berlin Philharmonic tympanist Werner Thärichen, and audiences were carried along, whether they agreed with his approach to interpretation or not.

 Mahler
The intervening year he spent at the Landestheater in Prague, where he had the opportunity of conducting operas by Gluck, Mozart, Beethoven and Wagner.
There were at first fewer such opportunities at Leipzig, but in January 1887 he took over the Ring cycle from Arthur Nikisch, who fell ill, and convincingly established among critics and public his genius as an interpretative artist.
The following year he completed Weber's unfinished comic opera Die drei Pintos (its successful performances in 1888 made Mahler famous and provided a useful source of income) and fell in love with the wife of Weber's grandson.
