Final Onward Triumphal march of the Telefoninis into Unknown Realms!

you accetuate your beats just as much in the melodic passages as in the rythmic passages.. which in the long run does not teach the orchestra to play together, nor show them the direction of the music they are playing.

plus yours hands are always turned down.

otherwise it was certainly not bad.

that bassoonist at 1:50-2:10 should be castrated. that really hurt my ears.

[tukaaa]

she was a girl, if you wanna give it a try LOL

[Scissors8311]

@Timrath I completely agree!!!

[ecwaufisxtreme]

Try to mirror your hands a lot less and give different types of beats to show the different types of articulations. And yes, do this in two, that way the music has a better sense of forward motion.

nn è un pò sotto tempo??nn ci dovrebbe essere il bisogno di battere in 4...(forse per esigenze orchestrali..)maybe bisognerebbe esaltare alcune dinamiche..

[stevebuttkins]

but you go into 2 in a couple of places, and the quavers are no worse off for it. If you feel it in 2, why not do it in two? Student orchestra or not, the misconception surely is that bigger and more beats means it's clearer which it certainly does not. Good sound for students though

[tukaaa]

I can see many problems with my conducting, but I don't frankly think the two/four beats is the main issue. I wanted to give the feeling that a conductor is not just a metronome: I don't know if I chose the best way, but at the end they got what I wanted.

@tukaaa Just counducted this myself. First attempt at conducting. I have got to respect your choosing to beat in 4. However I believe in 2 it has more push and drive to it, also means you can concentrate more on the emotion. Sounds quite good though! Would maybe take it a tash faster though ;)

[stevebuttkins]

why on earth are you in 4?

[tukaaa]

uhm... I'd ask: why not? Remember: it's a student orchestra

[nktnno]

In quattro sicuramente è più comodo ma sarebbe meglio riuscire a dirigerla tutta in 2 senza cedimenti. Dove passi in due devi fare vedere cosa succede tra un impulso e l'altro, in questo modo sono scollegati e l'orchestra ha un attimo di indecisione

[gritalia]

ciao luca dov'eravate a provare il coriolano?

[tukaaa]

In una delle tante sale prova di UCSD. Scusa se non ho accettato la video risposta ma barbarella mi sembrava un po' troppo su Beethoven :-)
