In *Facing the Music,* former NY Times critic Harold Schonberg uses the
following in the beginning of one of the book's sections. Can anyone tell
us about its origins and attribution? (I'm guessing Enrique Granados is the
composer.)
"Enrique, do you know what is happening today? I mean these conductors
with their little sticks. They don't play, you know. They stand in
front of the orchestra waving their little sticks. And they get paid
for this, paid well, too. Now suppose, Enrique, suppose there were
no orchestra and they stood there alone. Would they pay them just
the same--them and their little sticks?"
