He wanted to be a conductor, but his styles didnt work. During soft passages hed crouch extremely low. For loud sections hed leap into the air, even shouting to the orchestra. His memory was poor.

During the performance, when he went back to repeat that section, they went forward, so he stopped the piece, shouting, Stop! Wrong! That will not do! Again! Again!
