The conductor starts by studying the score - he can read a full orchestral score and hear it in his head, like the rest of us read English. He gets a clear idea of how he wants it to sound, given the particular forces at his command and the acoustics of the hall. Then at rehearsal, he leads the ensemble through it, shaping the music the way he wants it, with gestures at concert; in rehearsal, he can stop and explain, skip to sections that need work. There might be a crescendo that comes around twice, so he might hold back the first time and go all out the second. He has to attend to the balance between the instruments, like gesture for the brass to tone it down or point at the oboes and gesture that he wants more. He has to keep time, which is not simple tick-tock: the music has to breathe, slow down in places, speed up in others. The individual musicians can't judge the whole effect, In a concerto, there's interplay between the soloist and the conductor: sometimes the soloist leads, sometimes the conductor. It's a tough and intricate job.
Wow… thanks for the explanation! I remember throwing my hands around as a kid when I was a conductor on tv for the first time, who knew there was so much work going into it
@@GIDIREACTS A curiosity. The baton used by orchestra conductors is the evolution of the large stick used in the Baroque, which could perfectly serve as a weapon. You have a good example in (I'll put the titles, in case I can't put the links): "Marche pour la cérémonie des Turcs - J.B. Lully" "Giovanni Battista Lulli, Marche pour la Cérémonie des Turcs | Modo Antiquo"
When i first went to classical concerts, i was never sure when to clap ! If it is a piece with many parts tge orchestra would stop. I used to carefully look around to see what others were doing LOL😊
You should definitely listen to "Amen" which comes after Lacrimosa. Listen to different completions of the Amen movment. Mozart only wrote a sketch. Amen is one of my favourite movments of the Requiem.
I just saw you first reaction to classical music video and liked it a lot. It's always great to see new people appreciating classical music for the first time. A lot of classical music is really long, so it's divided into sections and sometimes sub sections. Lacrimosa is the 6th part of Sequentia, which itself is the 3rd section (or movement as it's normally called in classical music) of Requiem. The whole thing is an absolute masterpiece. Classical music is generally a lot longer than almost any modern music. The different parts or movements will often be quite different and have different moods but listen carefully and you'll hear themes repeated or that match parts from earlier. Often the music itself tells a story through the whole piece. Sorry if I've explained things you already know in this, I've only seen one other video of yours and I'm sure in all the other videos you've done, you'll have picked up loads of knowledge about classical music. Sometimes I can sound condescending without meaning to. I would really strongly recommend listening to Wagner's (pronounced Var-gner) Tannhauser overture. The overture is basically the intro to the approximately 4 hour long Tannhauser opera. To me it is probably the most emotive and powerful piece of music ever written.
th-cam.com/video/o-NI4WixVUg/w-d-xo.html This is one of my favourite versions of Tannhauser, played by the legendary Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra when it was conducted by Herbert Von Karajan, absolutely legendary.
if you so much love chopin maybe react to his piano concerto no 1 ? it so beautiful and one of the most romantic piece ever This concerto can be a sharp transition from Prokofiv, whose music is so deep, sad, powerful and scary, to the romantic Chopin that you love so much (: ! also rachmaninoff symphone no2 (:
For the number of the Requiem,yes it is one part. This is the category: 1.Introitius Including Requiem Aeternam And Kyrie 2.Sequentia Including Dies irae to lacrimosa 3.Offertorium Including Domine Jesu Christe and Hostias From Benedictus to Lux aeterna,they have they own Number. and fun fact for you,You haven't react to 1 Part of the Requiem before this. It's the part between lacrimosa and Domine Jesu Christe,some recording not included that, because the difference of the completed version of Requiem they use. as you know,mozart not completed His Requiem because he dead when write it. so other completed that,Based on what he wrote before,but not based on and writing style(some are In His style,but some is not. that is the reason why sanctus to agnus dei is the most critique part of this Requiem).Mozart Want An Amen "Fugue"(You already know that from bach's video about Fugue)after lacrimosa,sussmayer don't completed that Amen that Mozart wrote before and just short it for 1 "Amen" at the end of lacrimosa (yeah you already hear that right?).Besides that, several other composers after sussmayer died have finished what Mozart Want,a completed version of His Amen Fugue. Here it One of The Completed version of you want : th-cam.com/video/QyHs4mizBXc/w-d-xo.html
Fun fact: the songs after Lacrimosa were not written by Mozart because he had passed away. Technically Lacrimosa is the combination of Mozart and the person who finished the Requiem.
Well,it is true and not true.from sanctus Benedictus, agnus and Lux aeterna is yes,write by sussmayer.but offertorium is actually wrote by Mozart himself
Non posso credere che il Sanctus e l’Osanna siano puro Sussmayer. Delle indicazioni Mozart sicuramente gliele avrà fornite. Certo il Sanctus appare un po’ corto…. Qui comunque è interpretato moooolto bene!
I see someone said that after lacrimosa is not write by Mozart,well is actually true and not true.Offertorium is writed by Mozart,the rest from sanctus to Lux aeterna is completed by His puppil and friends,franz xaver sussmayer.well sanctus,Benedictus and agnus dei is the most critique part In this Requiem, because it is not the style of Mozart's writing.and Lux aeterna is just use the same instructure as Kyrie and introitius
Il tema del Benedictus era un tema dato da Mozart a un’allieva per un compito di contrappunto. L’Agnus Dei e’ stato abbozzato da Mozart anche con precise indicazioni.

The more you know! Thanks for the correction!

…secondo una tradizione introdotta da Sammartini, per dare maggior unitarietà all’Opera…
Il tema del Benedictus era un tema dato da Mozart a un’allieva per un compito di contrappunto.
L’Agnus Dei e’ stato abbozzato da Mozart anche con precise indicazioni.
