How to conduct Beethoven's Fifth Symphony

[@willschneider4616]

Most musicians: it's an eighth rest, three eighth notes, and a quarter note on the downbeat. We call them eigith notes because two of them happen evenly in the time of a quarter note. British musicians: hemidemisemiquaver! Minim! Expelliarmus patronus! I propose that Americans switch to the metric system and Brits switch to the whole-half-quarter-eighth-sixteenth system of rhythm. I also propose a full measure of inactive beats followed by a very active gesture of syncopation makes for the most likely to get the correct entrance on the first rehearsal.

Intriguing. I am still having trouble seeing it in the hand gestures.

I like explaining it via syncopation because it's lowkey ssyncopated kinda like with a fugue if it were a bach thing And yeah you fight the orchestra, my hand is held out for quiet as I tell people CHILL
