The conductor must establish the mood or character of a musical work. He can do this by his facial expression, the size of beat pattern, the level of the gestures (the conducting plane), and the style of the gestures.
If one is to conduct a serious piece that is legato, one must absorb those characteristics into the conducting gestures. The gestures in a legato work can be very fluid, avoiding any sudden or sharp motions. On the other hand, crisp and very exact gestures would be appropriate for a piece that is quite rapid and staccato.
