[@minikawildflower]

Good point about the rehearsals too - I often think that a big part of the conductor's job is NOT what they do on the podium at the concert, it's how they prep the orchestra. A great conductor could still do a good job on minimal rehearsal, but the ideal situation is that they have rehearsal time to prep the orchestra for what they want on the day of.

[@sergeirachmaninoff7805]

i mean yes and no. for amateur orchestras yes, but for professionals oftentimes these players have played these works dozens with different conductors. they’ve done the prep already over the course of their career. big professional orchestras often get only one rehearsal before these concerts, *maybe* two if they’re lucky and it’s a lot of unusual music. lots of these conductors- maybe with the exception of people like karajan who were with the same orchestra for decades- tweak small details in their one rehearsal but otherwise there’s very minimal actual prep. so they really do need to be super clear- there’s more leeway for orchestras who get multiple rehearsals and get to more time to understand/memorize specific gestures

[@minikawildflower]

@@sergeirachmaninoff7805 I think for the pros, it’s not that the prep helps them learn the piece, but that it helps them to know what the conductor wants. So what might be unclear conducting on a cold viewing could be perfectly fine if you’ve had a rehearsal and gotten a feel for what they plan to do.

[@Gisechan]

​@@sergeirachmaninoff7805 Not even professional orchestras rehearse only once and on with the concert. Maybe for a Beethoven or Mozart symphony but no way you can work all the details and personal vision in only one rehearsal if what is in the program is a Mahler symphony or something like that.

[@bobblade2681]

I think of them as directors for a movie but an orchestra. They are there to impart a vision

[@Trumpyfilip]

Yeah in the US is one rehearsal I heard, but in Europe the symphony gets at least 2 + dress rehearsal. Plus at least 1 for the first half. So they do get to dive a bit deeper into the piece. Speaking of big pro orchestras ofc, not some 1 reharsal shit gig ahah

[@hansmahr8627]

Then again, there were some great conductors who were pretty unclear in their movements. Furtwängler was probably the most famous, the Berlin Phil musicians sometimes complained about his vague way of giving the beat. The story is that they convinced him to try out a more clear style but he absolutely hated how it sounded. Furtwängler liked the lack of clarity because he thought it made for a more organic and improvisational sound. Considering that he's one of the greatest conductors of all time, he was probably right. You can actually hear it on his recordings, the different sections of the orchestra often don't come in at exactly the same time. It's subtle but it does allow you to hear the different lines more clearly. Of course you can only do that with a world-class orchestra like the Berlin Phil, with a less distinguished orchestra the result would probably be absolute chaos.

[@Loki-po8qz]

I was privileged enough to play in a concert with Rattle a few months ago, he came out of retirement to play with our youth orchestra. This man is unholy. During rehearsal he could pick out the tiniest details which even we didnt notice looking st our parts, and elevaate the sound to another level. He wasnt just conducting he was making music.

I'll try to give you some info. A good conductor makes clear movements and will usually be on the beat. They can use their spare hand (the one not holding the baton) to contro the orchestra's volume.

"Carnegie is too small... ... ...We'll do it in space!"

[@VoidWalkerOblivion]

What really got me was that I could see the delay between the conductor and the musician. Logically, of course there's a beat where everyone processes what was 'said', but as the audience you just kind of think that the conductor baton and the sound should be an instantaneous match. Weird thing to take away with, I know.

[@toramenor]

Plus, the conductor has to prepare for cues in advance, because if he/she is giving the cue "on time", it's already too late for the musician... it must be weird for the conductor to essentially hear the whole thing before the sound appears, but I bet it's an amazing feeling. Like, you ask for this sound you have in your head, and then, as if by magic, it's there! (If the orchestra is good & you were clear with what you wanted from them)

[@adrienovigne3077]

​@@toramenor thanks for this thread. I know nothing of orchestra, and was wondering if the video incrustation and them playing was delayed as the conductor was always ahead haha. Now i understand better 😊

[@morgangrosdidier1654]

So the “delay” actually isn’t that much in this piece because a lot of the music in Beethoven 5 is played on the off beats rather than directly on the beats, which is what conductors show. However, there is still definitely a dance between conductor and musician to ensure the ensemble is playing together and not make it feel like musicians are strictly following the conductor or that the conductor has no role. Simultaneously, as an exercise I’ve had conductors just stop conducting and force the ensemble to continue playing through listening alone

[@dpainter1526]

You're not alone, that was a revelation to me too😅

[@ogolthorp]

A big reason is a lot of the hits in this piece are on the upbeat. So the conductor hits the downbeat and you play on the upbeat.

[@alexchristodoulou]

That was fugue variations on Beethoven’s 5th, Bach would approve

[@symphonyofsolidarity]

😭😂

[@moriokayuri]

I know the first one, because I'm studying conducting, the maestro counts up to 3 because, Beethoven's 5th doesn't start at downbeat, it has a eighth rest on donwnbeat, so the orchestra actually plays after the donwbeat, that's why he gives the tempo prior to the downbeat, it's not on any formal conducting guide, but, it has been adopted by most conductors and it became a good practice, because Beethoven's 5th is easy to play and very hard to conduct.

[@morgangrosdidier1654]

That’s a good point! I remember many times during my concert career where the conductor would give us a measure of conducting to set up the tempo before we come in. It’s hard to anticipate this if not told about beforehand, though

[@simplytwosetter]

I feel like I haven't seen them play in their video for a very long time, now finally!! I know they are on tour and everything so they don't have time to practice pieces for their video, so I really hope that after their tour is done, they can record some serious playing videos like before!!

​@@pokedude720 (I don't play so don't roast me if I'm wrong) I think it's a case of - if everyone is having to follow the concert master and is ignoring the actual conductor, then the conducting is sh*t.

[@devynnagy2707]

It's always a good day when TSV uploads!

[@shubus]

How very different all these conductors are. It always brings to question how much of the conducting is for the audience and how much for the orchestra. There is always a great deal of theater involved. If you saw Bernstein in rehearsal, he usually just sat on a stool often with little more than marking the tempo--quite different from his live performances which are always highly animated. Seeing Simon Rattle in rehearsal, he is quite animated in rehearsal and in performance--check out his outstanding conducting of Britten's "Young Peoples Guide"

[@Casutama]

I _love_ this video idea - it really shows how important a clear conducting language is (less so of course if the conductor and the orchestra are very familiar with each other). It's only sad that so many prominent conductors were missing - and not a single female conductor, which is sad, because there are a lot of good ones. I hope this can be the first in a larger series of TwoSet highlighting the role (and importance) of conductors in certain periods and how it changed. Being "followable" doesn't make a conductor good in the same way that being edible instead of poisonous doesn't make a dish good. It's a basic requirement, but good conducting is about much more and I would love to see more TwoSet videos about conductors and conducting.

[@ryano.5149]

There is much to be said about efficient use of rehearsal time, putting together an effective program, and being able to inspire the orchestra to give an outstanding performance. It's not JUST waving the stick and keeping everything in time. Your physical conducting technique can be imperfect as long as the ensemble knows what you want from them.

I think the Berlin Phil. is always going to have a good conductor because the musicians get to choose the conductor. Also, from my conducting class, this is a challenging piece to conduct...especially the beginning...it demands rehearsal. And Pletnev is a pianist who does some conducting now that he's older...ijs.

[@The-Wordsmith]

In the '90s, I was lucky enough to attend nearly all of Sir Simon Rattle's concerts (as well as talks, meets and greets etc) when he was Director of the BSO,. You could tell that the orchestra loved and respected him. Still the best I've ever seen live*... both at engaging the audience (choosing interesting programmes/interacting/being playful) and being clear in his musical vision. The fact that TwoSet could follow him well and Brett felt 'safe' is testament to his skills. *Disclaimer: I never got to see von Karajan or Ozawa :)

[@harmonyrose7344]

I recently joined my local community orchestra (violin) this year, and I’ve learned that the hardest part is figuring out who to follow. I think the trick is that you don’t ONLY follow the conductor (bc sometimes I’m like wth was that movement supposed to mean?) You actually follow the conductor AND the section leader, and you also learn which other instruments share your phrase or syncopate with your phrase etc and listen to them. You also listen to the overall direction of the piece and fit in that.

I like to think of all music as chamber music. Even with a conductor, you still use all the same cues that you would use when playing chamber music without a conductor.

Hey, sorry to offend anyone here. What I mean by vague here is that nothing to do with Karajan musicality, I love his works.

It's been over a week. I still can't get 'DA DA DA DAAAAAAAAAAAA' out of my head.

Love this! I have conducted myself and it's not easy. I love seeing how others do it and having you follow them, really points out each of their own peculiarities.

[@xCriticalStrikex]

One of the more entertaining videos you guys have done in a while, really like this content.

[@JohannaSoderman-su1sn]

This was amazing. Whoa! Very interesting too. And it was clear when it was either exciting or easy to follow the conductor. Very good. Thank you!
