A conductor

First,I think Know music inside and out. A conductor must understand all aspects of music including tempo, dynamics and phrasing. Obtain a music education through the private instruction of another musician.
Second,Play every instrument. While you may not be proficient in every instrument, you should have the ability to play each instrument in the orchestra. This includes being able to play at least 1 string instrument and the piano. Sir Henry Wood suggested the violin as the stringed instrument of choice。
Third ,Possess sensual skills. A conductor must have the ability to hear the different pitch of each individual instrument while listening to the tone of the group in order to get the correct harmonic balance. You also need rhythmic and interpretative senses when you conduct.
Fourth,Gesture clearly and precisely. Some view the gestures of a music conductor as an art form. Others view it as a skill that can be learned. Regardless of how you view it, a conductor must make precise gestures with their hands, heads, bodies and baton in order to get the correct response from the musicians. Each gesture elicits a different response from the musicians.
Lastly,I have spoken about these things is a conductor must have,a conduct want to do that we must be very mature experience,need more time and experience。I think he is too young,I think he is too young,I think a good symphony orchestra need An experienced conductor

  1. I can see what you mean, that for you, a conductor needs to have accumulated more experience and knowledge to be able to conduct well. But what did you think of the performance itself?
