I was always curious to see which Mr. D. would show up on the first day of college orchestra class. Would his optimistic side win out, leading him to tell the orchestra, "Look at this sea of cellos. Look at this sea of basses?" Would it be the informational Mr. D., reminding us that he has office hours and that we're all welcome to stop by? Or, would he set the tone for the school year more sternly?
When a conductor has multiple personality facets, it's interesting to see which one shows up.
