THIS CLIP
The best conducting lesson you will ever have. Witty, charming and unmistakably British, Rainer Hersch ("Victor Borge for a new generation" The London Times) explains with laugh-out-loud comedy what does a conductor do? The myths about conductors and conducting are gently exploded. Here are five reasons everyone can understand, whether you are seasoned orchestral musician or couldn't tell a baton from your bottom. Starting with setting the tempo and showing when the musicians should actually start playing, the conductor needs to be seen by everyone. Then there is giving cues to the players and adjusting the balance. This is funny and informative. But don't let him fool you, a monkey could do it.
ABOUT RAINER HERSCH
A trained conductor and pianist, British stand-up comedian Rainer Hersch has performed on every comedy stage in the UK and in more than thirty countries across the world. He has conducted orchestras from The St Petersburg Philharmonic to the Tasmanian Symphony. Rainer and his own 'Orkestra' are on tour in Autumn 2020 www.rainerhersch.com/whatson/

Another conductor joke: on a reahearsal a lot goes wrong in the percussion: the conductor stops and says: what do you do when a musician isnt good enough to play in an orchestra?? You give them two sticks and put them in the back and let them play drums. Rehearsal continues and a few times a tempochange goes wrong. When they stop a percussionist sneers: and when they can't even do that? You take one stick away and put them in the front....

Hououin Kyouma So very true! I was in the percussion section of my highschool band (bass drum an cymbal). Now luckily this happened during rehearsal but still I remember vividly (after at least 50 years!). I had several 100 bars before one big smash on the drum with a good smack with the top mounted cymbal. And that after only one oboe playing for several bars. Off course you don‘t count 100th of bars, you mark a recognizable bar close to your big moments and count from there. Since this was only the 1th or 2nd time we were playing the music I gave out a hefty bass drum and cymbal crash, albeit 1 bar too early! Then all hell broke loose, because everybody else was thinking, they had miscounted and were 1 bar too late, so they all tried to fall in, and the director had to stop all of us. He was a nice guy so I got a smile and a questioning shrug from him and lots of remarks from the rest of the band afterwards!

I always thought that the conductor's job was to distract the audience with a bunch of meaningless gestures, so nobody would notice that I just emptied my trumpet's spit valve down the neck of someone in the Second Clarinets. Then at the end, he says when we are supposed to stand and bow, which is actually the only time that we pay any attention to all of that waving.

As such, conducting shows the audience what is about to happen.

When student composers write their pieces for an orchestra, the orchestra usually plays it without rehearsals. Everyone can read the notes, they see the tempo and dynamics, and conductor puts everything in overall order. So I think this is the reason why it is missing. Conductor and an orchestra can actually play something without rehearsals, but they can't play it without a conductor

So, one hall isn't the same as another, so they have to make adjustments to suit the various halls.

Thank-you. I've been a classical music nut for most of my life. I knew all this, and I'm glad you did this so well. I've been to dozens upon dozens of concerts, half a dozen Operas, musicals and all. My mother was a violinist in orchestras around the world, always playing 2nd violin. I'll add in a bit, my mother always said that the hardest part, for her, was the fact that, while siting there, playing, was that not only was it a mishmash of notes she also couldn't hear many instruments, like cellos, woodwinds, and such on pieces by composers like Bach, Haydn, and such. When it's soft, you can only hear your instrument section, and no mishmash at all, aside from a faint hint of sound, making it 100% completely impossible to know when to come in. This is even more true of people that play instruments that have only one or two of the instrument since you have zero hint. She always said that she could often take cues from other violins, but always depended on the conductor. However, if you're playing the Bassoon and there's only 3 bassoons, then you have not hint at all.

My understanding is that the conductor also interprets the piece and guides the mood. We don't see it on the day of the concert -- it happens during rehearsals. He's the one who will tell certain instruments to tone down at certain parts and so on, and makes sure everything merges harmoniously. That's why some conductors are very celebrated; they interpret the music in such a way that it becomes alive and emotional.

I'd like to add, even though you kind of said it when talking about getting everyone to agree, that the conductor also gives a general direction for the interpretation. Since interpretation can be a very personal thing, and is mostly subjective, it's impossible that every instrument in the orchestra will have the exact same ideas on how to play the piece, and the conductor is the one who decides which path to take. He can take opinions and advice from the player, but ultimately, he's the one who gets to decide and put everyone on the same page.

That's it exactly. People who haven't had the experience of playing in an orchestra might not understand that the music notation itself is not precise enough. Someone has to decide about a whole heap of things which make the music come alive. There is, of course, a lot more to it than I talk about here but I want to keep it easy to grasp.

I didn't realize this was an official channel! I've watched Mr. Hersch do lots of orchestral work on KZbin, but I also found the odd video on management and leadership. Quite effective, those. Cheers from the US!

enjoyed that a lot. Too funny. Especially true about how sound differs when you're in the orchestra as a clarinet when you've got the brass behind you deafening you and the saxophones next to you belting it doing something different and you get lost
