Conductors
« on: July 28, 2021, 01:58:47 PM »
I don't understand the importance of conductors during performances of classical music. It seems they just wave around a baton and their hands and dance and point. Do all of the movements send messages to the performers? Does the conductor waving the baton around effect how well the performers play? It just seems weird to me not knowing much about it.

Yes, I could imagine one. I know they are important but as an ignorant person, I do not understand exactly what their importance amounts to.

I was told before that he's there to throw that stick at whoever goes off key or misses a note - it has to be noticeable enough tho.  :laugh2:

Or he points to the player that is off key for the sniper in the top window to take out quietly
