Where did the conductors baton originate?
At one time the conductor literally kept the beat of the orchestra by pounding a large pole on the stage floor. While it interfered with the music, this method was effective at keeping the group together. A more subtle approach was to indicate the tempo of the piece by waving a violin bow. Over the years, the bow was transformed into the shorter, thinner version we are familiar with today.
