	Hans Richter - MSN Encarta
		In 1868 Richter conducted at the Munich Opera under the tutelage of German composer and conductor Hans von Bülow.
		Richter was unusual in promoting the music of German composer Johannes Brahms as well as that of Wagner, at a time when the two composers were felt to represent opposite poles in music.
		Richter conducted the first performances of Brahms's 2nd and 3rd Symphonies (1877 and 1883, respectively), and was one of the few musicians of his time to take seriously the work of Austrian composer Anton Bruckner, conducting the first performances of four of his symphonies.

		HANS RICHTER (1843-), Hungarian musical conductor, born at Raab on the 4th of April 1843, was the son of the kapellmeister at the cathedral, and of his wife, née Josephine Csazinsky, who was the first to perform Venus in Tannhduser at Vienna.
		In 1853, at the age of ten, he appeared in a concert as pianist in Hummel's E flat quintet; and in 1854, after his father's death, went to the choristers' school, the Convikt (where Schubert was educated) in Vienna, and there became chorister in the Court Chapel.

	Conductor: Excerpts from The NPR Classical Music Companion
		In the most general terms, a conductor's job is to shape a musical interpretation; to form ideas about the most compelling way to perform a piece and to lead a group of musicians in such a way that those ideas are realized.
		Most conductors feel that the baton is very important for the visibility and clarity of the beat.) By convention, certain beat patterns are used to indicate certain metrical patterns, with the first beat of each measure always shown by a downward stroke, or "downbeat," and the last beat shown by an upward stroke.
		A conductor does a large part of his or her work — perhaps the largest part — away from the public eye, in study and in rehearsal.

	Dvorak 6
		The symphony, written in 1881, was dedicated to Hans Richter, the conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
		Richter was most enthusiastic and Dvorak was able to report to a Czech friend that "He likes the symphony tremendously; so much so that when I played it to him on the piano he embraced me after each movement".
		Although Richter promised to give the first performance at the end of the year, there was a delay as the Vienna Philharmonic was too overloaded with concerts to prepare the new work properly and there was opposition from some of its members.

	Elgar - His Music : The Dream of Gerontius
		But, while he undoubtedly toyed with the idea of setting it to music intermittently over the intervening period, the decision to do so for the 1900 Birmingham festival appears to have been taken somewhat at the last minute - his earlier ideas for the festival describe a work which eventually emerged as The Apostles.
		Neither W C Stockley, the chorus master, nor Hans Richter, the conductor, had grasped the complexity of the work and allowed insufficient time for rehearsals.
		The performance, to a packed audience of 2500, was an unqualified success and was followed in March 1903 by further acclaimed performances on successive nights - the first by the Halle Orchestra, under Richter in Manchester, the second in Hanley with Elgar himself conducting.

		Hans Richter, conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic, performed Dvorák’s Slavonic Rhapsody No. 3 with that orchestra, and this resulted in the composer’s being called to the stage in response to a grand ovation.
		Given Richter’s and the Vienna Philharmonic’s eminent status in the European musical scene and the successful reception of his piece, Dvorák’s public esteem reached new, international levels.

	Bert Hagels - On the Origin of the Symphony No. 1 in E major
		By letter of August 23 from Glashütte, vacillating between devotion and missionary zeal, to Hans Richter, conductor of the Philharmonic Concerts, he announces his visit for the next week in order to introduce Richter to the symphony.
		This appointment, too, seems to have not been kept, nor another one planned for October 13, for Richter apologizes in writing to Rott that day for "my today's neglect" and at the same time promises to examine the work and asks him to come and see him the next day.
		He had only just now remembered that he had to go to Richter on Thursday because of the symphony about whom he now writes: "Fritz, do you know what it means to me, being led up the garden path by weaklings?" Harten, op.

	Hans Rott - His Life
		Hans Rott was born on August 1, 1858 in Braunhirschengrund, a suburban parish of Vienna (today Vienna XV) as illegitimate son of the actor Carl Mathias Rott (real name Roth) and the singer and actress Maria Rosalia Lutz.
		When in September 1880 he presented his First Symphony to Johannes Brahms, a member of the jury deciding on the grant of a state scholarship Rott had applied for, he met with a harsh rebuff by Bruckner's antipode.
		And yet another of his hopes was doomed: Court Opera Conductor Hans Richter, although showing an interest in a performance of the symphony with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, was reluctant to commit himself.

	Chicago Symphony Orchestra - Conductor
		With a good conductor — and a good orchestra — the quality of sound the orchestra produces is influenced by the qualities of the beat, by the character of the conductor's physical gestures.
		It may seem a simplistic thing to say, but with a good conductor, both the music and the orchestra playing it should sound better after rehearsal than they did before.
		Although conductors may still be able to say what they want, they can't always just do what they want.

	Anton Bruckner Summary
		This explanation was given enormous cachet when it was championed by Bruckner scholar Robert Haas, who was the chief editor of the first critical editions of Bruckner's works published by the International Bruckner Society; it continues to be found in the majority of program notes and biographical sketches concerning Bruckner.
		He did have supporters; famous conductors such as Arthur Nikisch and Franz Schalk constantly tried to bring his music to the public, and for this purpose proposed many 'improvements' for making Bruckner's music more acceptable to the public.
		In 1887 Bruckner sent the work to Hermann Levi, the conductor who had led his 7th to great success; the latter did not understand this very different work at all and utterly rejected it, driving Bruckner to despair.

		From 1866, the conductor of the orchestra was the most important Czech nationalist composer BedYich Smetana, who opened Dvorák’s ears and mind to the possibility of celebrating his own culture in music.
		But Dvorák wanted to return to the symphony (he had already composed five) and wanted to write a work for Vienna, where the great Hans Richter promised to perform it after the huge success of one of his Slavonic Rhapsodies there.
		When he played through it (at the piano) for Richter, the conductor was so excited that he kissed the composer after each movement.

	EDWARD ELGAR, Enigma Variations: The Story Behind the Music
		The great German conductor Hans Richter was a great influence on Boult, and from Richter he learned to convey a broad, spanning architectural sense of a piece.
		Instead, he let the music speak for itself and breathe naturally; he was a conductor of the Golden Mean: Never too fast, never too slow; he secured polished and beautiful playing from his musicians and let the composer have his say.
		Ormandy's goal was not what points the conductor had to make, but rather to impart the will of the composer as faithfully as possible.
