In the early days of orchestras, the conductor was primarily responsible for beating time. This was done by stamping one's foot on the floor or pounding a stick or cane. As you may recall, this tradition faded after [Jean-Baptiste] Lully stabbed himself in the foot and died from the subsequent infection. Gluck and Mozart conducted with their hands, often while seated at the harpsichord.
—Plotkin, Fred. Opera 101.
