Wolf is right about conductors being the most trained person in the orchestra and it’s not even close either. Also, conductors have like insane hand eye coordination

[@luciusliu9417]

F'real, when I was a kid in high-school band, I got an opportunity to be I forget what they call it, but essentially student conductor and I was like "hell nah man!"- considering some of the most talented band members even failed at even doing an ok job.

[@NonisLuck]

I've been curious: what's their use? Isn't every information he's conveying already on the music sheet? When to play, when to hold notes, go higher or lower etc?

[@alsims2007]

@@NonisLuck not that I have any conductor experience and really only have junior high band experience which was 20ish years ago but imagine taking 20+ people and telling them to count to 30 in their head. everyone would quickly get out of sync. when I was in band we would tap our feet in rhythm with the conductor and that would keep the band in sync with each other.

[@icetang97]

@@NonisLuckconductors are like an artist, while well trained instrumentalists/vocalists are the paints, and the sheet music is a painting the conductor uses as a reference (how closely they follow the reference is up to the conductor). The conductor brings a level of cohesion to the performance. They set the tempo and energy. Some instruments may stick out too much normally, while others may be too quiet. Heck that could even be what the music calls for! However, the conductor has the final say; ‘brass, this section needs to be softer.’ ‘Strings, the music says to connect these notes together, but I want staccato.’ At early learning levels, conductors are there to mostly help the band to only keep rhythm, but as the conductor and the players become more experienced, that’s when it basically becomes a megazord of music! With the conductor as the head. Hope that answers your question! I love music, and I really appreciate good conductors.

[@Angel_Dude44]

@@luciusliu9417Drum Major?

[@crashboredom2]

I will never watch a conductor again without assuming he's saying, "Keep it down back there, be a little quieter, shhhhhh"

[@NonisLuck]

"You're not very good, turn that solo down" 😂 that's exactly how it goes in an orchestra

[@fakunyho7895]

16:40 Crescendo and decrescendo don't mean high and low notes. They are the path to louder (forte) notes, and softer (piano) notes. With fortissimo being the loudest, and pianissimo being the quietest. Usually in a sheet they are marked by a line going up or down, depending on where the music goes, but they can happen insantly, which is indicated by the corresponding lettter(s), which can usually be also found at the start of each part of the music, indicating it's loudness. But they aren't required most of the time. pp pianissimo, p piano, mp mezzopiano, mf mezzoforte, f forte, ff fortissimo (from quietest to loudest)

[@grimm29x]

Very helpful thank you😊

you mad lad, but i bet it will be so much fun

[@truckermatt4603]

You sure you’re not looking forward to conducting Erika lol jk

[@missdire]

I was once the president of my choir class in high school, and whenever the teacher was gone, I was conducting. I say this with the utmost enthusiasm and encouragement - you need more oomph! More flourish! Flick your wrist, snap your hand closed, really "enunciate" your movements! But also remain graceful and classy.

[@manaalmoosa7977]

Hip hop and orchestra go surprisingly well together

[@ZeeSpecialThree]

As rock does too, if only more people would care to listen to it.

[@VRnamek]

I feel like many hip-hop artists with powerful voices are wasting that potential on just 2 or 3 notes..

[@TheaArtsFox]

ya feel like that Scen of Looney Tunes when Bugs Bunny comes to the scenery and everyone says " Leopold!" amazed :)

[@Lucas-Stl]

Leopold.

[@BaronNate]

@@Lucas-Stl le le .....leopold *bows and hands off baton* lol

[@VRnamek]

that would be then famous conductor Leopold Stokowski

[@C.Sharpe]

Fun fact: Mozart's first name was actually Wolfgang. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

[@ZeeSpecialThree]

And his wife called him Wolfie.

Hello, Wolf gang!

[@StwongDave]

As a previous high school marching band conductor, I can attest that this is all actually stuff that happens.

[@mestevs6697]

Would like to have a video of wolf dancing to this VR while playing it. Think is would do well, and be also funny.

[@mattwoor4610]

Verdi’s Dies Irae as your first concert, on your first day as a conductor… blooming heck, that’s tough! Excellent review and very funny commentary. Great video.

[@gypsywaves]

Wolfzart has arrived…I think grunting should be added to more orchestras.

[@justajad2809]

This brings me back some *"great"* memories with Wii Music.

[@Dimencia]

I'm impressed how much personality they put into this early alpha, it could've just been a tutorial and a few songs, they didn't need voice acting at all (but it makes a difference). I also enjoyed the 'royalty free' version of Swing Swing, that first Jazz song which was just a very slightly modified version of a real song Also, as a drummer I liked how quickly it 'tricked' you into doing independent limb movements, and almost all of it seems basically synonymous with drumming, all about timing and limb independence This looks really fun

[@garretthoward5088]

Yes please play the full game!!!!

[@bretts6127]

This is the kind of thing VR needs more of. It's great. Better with controller

[@Justitia_employee_FromLcorp]

*FROM BREAK AND RUIN, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCE BEGINS*

[@jakewastaken]

I never got around to playing this with a quest 2 because the hand tracking was pretty rough when this demo first came out, especially in a dark room. I should really give it a try with a quest 3 now. It looks satisfying for sure.

[@MrMaradok]

Dude, imagine this game with Victor Borges version of “Dance of the Comedians,” so playing the song, while also doing his comedy routine!

[@FOXHOUND874]

Messa da Requiem is a classic. Very dramatic.

[@jazznblues9496]

I get the feeling that Wolf is excited about this. Off to try the demo! EDIT - I don't suppose you know any conductors Wolf. Would be amazing to see a conductor play this.

[@MaxRamos8]

I took some conducting classes for my music degree so I could give feedback. Finding only conductors is hard because all classical composers learn to conduct but as a profession those are held by the few professionals cuz they are stationary jobs like 20+ years. Two famous conductors are Leonard Bernstein and Gustavo Dudamel.

[@NinjacatCreative]

This is such a great concept!

[@shanehaddixcomedy]

I know they probably can't have Star Wars music, but Duel of the Fates would be incredible in this game.

[@dangerponimgaming9627]

Awsome game! Can't wait for the full release.

[@youtubebros]

This looks hard, very cool to see how this works. Had no idea the person was directed everyone.

[@jonathantitterton9455]

8:06 this MAKES it look easy but if isn’t as when you’re looking at the conductors score you have roughly 20 lines of music on 1 page and you need to know where each instrument comes in and if they’re playing the correct rhythm! (I’ve been playing in Brass Bands for near enough a decade and when I look at conductors scores I marvel!)

[@AlexanderToth-ct1yc]

Forte (F) is when the musicians play louder, but Piano (P) is when the musicians play softer!

[@Grim-chances]

Its really cool to see a game with hand tracking

I randomly saw Maestro VR in the top 50 VR games on Steam sales.. and I was like this game in this video is a far better state from what it looks like on Steam.. Turns out there is "Maestro VR" and "Maestro", Maestro being this game and it's far superior and I think people are mistaking the two games as "Maestro VR" is already out and "Maestro" is "Coming Soon" on Steam..

[@VRnamek]

missed opportunity not starting as "hello, Wolf gang!"

As a band member myself, him not understanding anything and I do makes me feel smart.

Ah the original PlayStation sound at the start (cause that's the sound orchestras use to say they're ready)

[@andreshernandez2637]

We need more boot strap island!!!!!!!!

[@RBGaming-qh2fu]

Insanely underrated

[@FlorianFahrenberger]

Admit it, Wolf. You've done some conducting before, at least in music lessons in school. The way you kind of naturally beat a 4/4 pattern when only asked to hit the accents gives it away. ;-) And yes, conducting a real orchestra (well) is extremely hard. And it's usually not about just keeping a tempo and giving musical cues, but mostly about very precise hearing during rehearsal and getting the musicians to perform the piece as you want in the actual concert. Luckily, in this app, the musicians actually play fairly flawlessly already, so you're simply conducting the most amazing orchestra in the world. A virtual one.

[@oliviawolcott8351]

Take a bow, Maestro Wolf! Encore! Encore!! also I know it was a different Olivia, but you're welcome!

[@oliviawolcott8351]

also, also I'm convinced now that being a conductor is the closest thing to being a wizard. but maybe the OG Fantasia is influencing my opinion on that.

[@GreenBeanzyy]

NO COS I LITERALLY JUST PLAYED THIS (also what the bat got an update so maybe play that please)

[@JeffreyBlakeney]

Okay, I'm confused but this is what I think is going on: What you showed in this video was a free Quest app called "Maestro: The Masterclass". The full game, when it releases, will be called "Maestro" and will be available for Quest and on Steam (didn't look for other options). Steam has another game that is released called "Maestro VR" which is fairly different from what you've shown. You might want to make it a little clearer what it is you are showing or, if I'm totally off base here, you can correct me.
