Composer Igor Stravinsky wrote an essay about orchestra conductors and his point of view on them. To express his opinion, he used many rhetorical strategies to further explain his thoughts. First, Stravinsky uses aphorism to illustrate a common belief; taking the belief that, “if you are unable to listen to the music”(43-44), at a concert then you can watch the conductor, but “if you are able, you had better not go to the concert”(45), he explains that people often mistake, “the conductor's gestures for the music’s meanings”(33-34). This shows that he views conductors as unessential and visually distracting to the audience. He even goes as far as to use the word, “corybantics”(44), to describe how conductors move.

One of Jerome Robbins biggest impacts on the world of musical theater was that he redefined theater dance “as an integrated, dramatic element of musicals, setting out to demonstrate that artists like himself need not divide their artistic works from their commercial works, but could create at their highest level for the Broadway stage” (Smith).
