    This guy looks like a villain - someone who might be eyeing the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor position in Hogwarts

    This video doubles as an English lesson for the term "i.e.".

    Love this series. The conductor has a villainous air about him though.

    This whole series was one of the best one I've watched on RUclips, all of the videos describing different instruments were very professionally filmed with the right kind of people and with the perfect pace as to not make it boring while keeping it from getting overwhelming. Enjoyed them a lot and also learned a lot :) thanks.

    So the conductor is basically a human metronome?

    What I've learned today: Conducting is an orange.

    I really enjoyed the subtle humour of the speaker. Excellent speaker.

    What an eloquent gentleman. I'd like to think he conducts with the same refinement.

    I play low brass, horn, low strings, piano, and bits of other instruments. I'm a composition major and this series really helps me in understanding instruments I'm not entirely familiar with.

    "Distributing music on the axis of time" ... wow that's such a brilliant explanation!

    Very interesting videos! My grandfather used to go on and on about these kinds of things (especially conducting) and as a kid I used to just nod my head and say "that's interesting Grandpa" but as i get older I'm finding myself quite genuinely interested in it. :) Thanks for sharing these videos.

    I studied conducting over 4-decades ago. However, I continue to learn about this craft from excellent videos such as this one. Salonen is the perfect teacher.

    All musicians (and non-musicians) must see these videos to understand how complex is an orchestra.
