I've been intentionally vague on when his conducting debut was, because some sources say it was at age seven, others at nine, and one says he was eight. I'm just using general sources (other encyclopaedias, music dictionaries and so on), so if anybody has a biog or something more reliable, we could probably get a more precise date from that. --Camembert
