Furtwangle

Furtwangle: verb. To conduct an orchestra without overt reference to rhythm. Unlike Toscanining, Karajaning and Mehtaing, Furtwangling tackles musical works by viewing them as suggestions that have to be expanded upon (which is not necessarily a good thing). Experts on classical music have commented that Furtwangling must be moderated or else people will start to rewrite works by different composers and morphing them into something as insane as a Mahler symphony.
