"The post-revolutionary Pervyi Simfonicheskii Ansambl - First Symphonic Ensemble was formed in the USSR in 1922. The unusual aspect of the orchestra was that, believing that in the ideal Marxist state all men are equal, its members felt that there was no need to be led by the dictatorial baton of a conductor;[citation needed] instead they were led by a committee. Although it was a partial success, the principal difficulty with the concept was in changing tempo."
