    I know that you have been doing this for a while, but I wanted to let you know that I just discovered it this evening while listening online to the 9th (I had a ticket but fell ill and could not attend), and am very excited to have made this discovery. Thank you so much for this education.

    Slatkin is one of our greatest conductors ever produced in this country. I played under him for many years when he guest conducted the Grant Park Symphony. The most complicated and complex works he know how to take them apart by having different orchestra sections reh. them together and after ,when we all joined together, - it was like a tight finished puzzle.....Ive never played with a conductor who could accomplish that task any faster then he.

    This is my newest hobby during COVID isolation. I stand in front of my super stereo system and lead my virtual orchestra! ( I'm not very good yet at coordinating the hand movements - sorta looks like I'm swatting flies).

    Thank you very much, Maestro. I greatly admire your work. First heard you decades ago in The Complete Gershwin you recorded with the St Louis Symphony. To this day, it remains in my ear and heart the definitive interpretation of Gershwin. 👏🏆🎶

    You can get someone from the street and let that person conduct an orchestra like the Berliner and they will play the same way as conducted by Sir Simon Rattle. It is all in the rehearsal not in the performance.

    If i carve a baton, could it theoretically be used by a conductor at some point? I'm thinking maybe they have to be carved from walnut, in this specific way or its just a wand and not a conductors baton.

    • @blobodep6251
      @blobodep6251 2 года назад

      1: Are there many conductors in the world? Is their number over 100000? I dont see many probably because my school didn't offer music classes. But my friends and family members who took music classes learned about the piano and violin, so I was wondering how low the number of conductors in the world are.
      2: What is the most difficult thing about being a conductor? Is it finding a job or practicing? Or maybe it's some other thing I didn't think about.
      3: How do conductors practice? Do they practice by conducting an orchestra only? Is there no other way to practice?
      4: Is the number of people aspiring to be conductors decreasing?

  • @volldillo
    @volldillo 2 года назад +13

    I do not agree with the claim, that the baton is only the focus leading to the hand. I played opera in the orchestra pit very often (professional level), and for precision, I always watched the tip of the baton, not the hand. The hand is optically way too diffuse for giving precise metric information to wind players or percussion. Maybe, beginners watch the hand and not the baton, but this doesn't say anything about what professional musicians are used to do.
