1. 請記得，演奏音樂的目的不在於娛樂自己；而是取悅聽眾。（Remember that you are making music not to amuse yourself, but to delight your audience.）

2. 指揮自己不應出汗；只有觀眾才應該感到音樂的熱力。（You should not perspire when you are conducting; only the audience should get warm.）

3. 演奏《莎樂美》與《伊蕾克特拉》時，要如同孟德爾頌神幻音樂般詮釋。（Conduct Salome and Elektra as if they were Mendelssohn; fairy music.）

4. 對銅管樂手絕對不要投以鼓勵的眼神；除了重要段落的提示，否則千萬別與他們對上眼。（Never look at the brass encouragingly; except with a quick glance for an important lead-in.）

5. 反之，千萬別讓法國號和木管離開你的視線，如果你聽到他們的聲音，那就表示已經太大聲了。On the contrary, never let the horns and woodwind out of your sight; if you hear them at all they are already too loud.

6. 如果你覺得銅管力度不夠，就將他們的音色調暗。If you think the brass is not strong enough, tone them down two points further.

7. 只有你自己聽見獨唱者的每個咬字是不夠的；因為你已經背妥歌詞。要讓觀眾毫不費力地跟得上音樂～因為如果他們不了解歌詞的含意，馬上就會睡著。It is not enough yourself to hear every word of the singer–which you know by heart anyway; the public must also be able to follow it without effort. If they don’t understand what is happening, they fall asleep.

8. 樂團伴奏必須要讓聲樂家能毫不費力地演唱。Always accompany the singer so as to enable him to sing without exertion.

9. 當你認為速度已經達到最急板極限時，再讓速度加快一倍。When you think you have reached the limits of prestissimo, double the pace.

10. 如果你遵守以上的規則，再加上自己的天賦和成就，就能永遠成為觀眾們的明星寵兒。If you follow these rules carefully, you will, with your fine gifts and your great accomplishments, always be the darling of your listeners.
