Thirty years ago I turned on our family’s black-and-white console TV to watch an orchestra conductor nearly as hyperactive as I was performing the magic trick of conjuring images out of melody, of churning emotions out of dissonance. The man gestured grandly with his baton to the horn section, a wavy black forelock dropped over
his forehead, and three horn players sounded out a theme. "What character is that?" he asked. "The wolf!" the audience of children responded noisily.

选项
A、revelatory.
