[edit] Boulez
Look at the talk page for Pierre Boulez before you make your edits. We've already discussed the matter, and reached the conclusion that there's no evidence that he belongs in the Category of gay composers. CRCulver 04:24, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Conducting
I'll admit from the manner in which you responded to me that you probably know more about conducting than I do, but I still want to argue the point. The line that you object to states that "To encourage a particular accelerando or rallentando, a conductor may use additional body language... etc." That is not to say that this additional body language is a means of changing the speed which, as you said correctly, can only be done in certain, specific ways. All the line says is that a conductor may use techniques like "making circling motions" to encourage a speed change, sort of like a "get ready" signal to the orchestra. From my experience, simply as a concert-goer, this is true.
And also, I noticed that it was about time you got properly welcomed to Wikipedia, so I posted the above message as well. Have fun, and continue to contribute! --DLandTALK 01:36, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
