	Headline
		Zander played a few bars -- we expect the familiar leitmotif to be grand, because no one plays it the crazy way Beethoven directed; we don't expect it to run fast as a cheetah.
		Zander joked, teased, sweet-talked and cajoled each of the musicians in turn -- even mussing up their hair -- until they too were feeling the feelings Mozart embedded in the notes ("weeping, crying") and the music improved 500% before our very ears.
		Zander made many jokes about people's unwillingness to join in, calling people down from the balcony, and calling them down again from the back rows, until we were all close to him.

	Editorial: Benjamin Zander—Talking about Mahler for Fun and Profit
		So Zander includes it too, and in the appended lecture talks (and talks, and talks) about how he arrived at this epochal choice, and in magnifying its significance makes matters progressively more obscure and confusing for his audience by gradually turning away from the music altogether.
		Zander claims that the third hammer blow represents the final, fatal stroke directed against the hero, who has at last achieved fulfillment in the immediately preceding climax.
		A further example of Zander’s tendency to exaggerate the music’s difficulty occurs in his discussion of the first movement’s first subject group, where he maintains that there are no “tunes,” just short “motives,” and then claims that in order to understand the music the listener ideally needs to “get” 11 of them into his head.

	leadership - Ben Zander
		After years at the helm of the Boston Civic Symphony, Zander was fired in 1978 by the symphony's board -- because he had insisted on presenting "difficult" music by such composers as Mahler and Bruckner.
		Zander's calendar is packed with presentations at high-profile gatherings like the State of the World Forum and the World Economic Forum (the annual meeting of politicians and CEOs in Davos, Switzerland), and with speeches to giant organizations like British Telecom, IBM, Shell Oil, and NASA.
		But his provocative ideas about leadership are rooted in a partnership with Rosamund Stone Zander, 56, a family therapist whom he refers to as "the brains behind the enterprise." Although the couple separated 12 years ago, the Zanders have together developed an art that is more inclusive than performance, motivational speaking, or even therapy.

		The activity of leadership is not limited to conductors, presidents, and CEOs, of course -- the player who energizes the orchestra by communicating his newfound appreciation for the tasks of the conductor, or a parent who fashions in her own mind that her children desire to contribute, is exercising leadership of the most profound kind.
