Thank you for mentioning in history there have been conductors and classical musicians who could not read music. I had no idea. Wow, Koussevitzy ? This makes me feel better in a way, because I struggle with reading even though I work my but off. It's a painful reality when surrounded by a culture that expects perfection and genius. I remember a conducting teacher who would scream at me if I fumbled at the piano when another student was conducting (I was always so sleepy after lunch, and nervous in class, and the lighting hurt my eyes). Learning to read all the transposing instruments at the piano was serious torture (amounting to something like 6 different clefs at once!), but my brain muscles did learn, albeit slowly. Composing has helped me think more about transpositions. These days, trying to get back to conducting studies, I'm experimenting with sitting down and using my sight-singing/ear-training to hear parts in my mind with the hope it will better internalize the sounds. Even though reading at the piano is a struggle too, it's such a short cut that I'm not sure the sounds are internalized as deeply. Perhaps piano can confirm the ear once the ear-work has been tried.

Thank you so much❤.

I got to play Rimsky Korsakov’s Russian Easter Overture under Leonard Slatkin back in my youth symphony days. It was a marvelous experience for me and I wish I could repeat it. He has a fascinating downbeat. Hard to describe it.

These classes are AMAZING! Thank you so much. I'm ambidextrous, so it's helpful how you teach ❤

Your shirt looks better here.

Jeez, too bad for the clarinetist who must play the A-Clarinet, having to transpose up a half step. I'm looking at another score on UA-cam that doesn't list A-clarinet, and Wiki says it's just 2 B-flat Clarinets. And why on your score the Bass Clarinet in B-flat with a F-sharp Major key sig, especially when the B-flat Clarinet is in G-Flat Major (enharmonic, but why a difference ?). The other score on UA-cam has them both in the G-Flat Major key sig.

Hmmm ??? Why would Piccolo 1 be listed separately if, as you are saying, it's role is carried out by one of the 3 flute players ? (You say 2 of the 3 Flutes double as Piccolo 1 & 2). If what you're saying is true, then it should say 2nd Flute doubling Piccolo 1. Looks to me the way it is written indicates Piccolo 1 is a role of its own, not a doubled role. Only the 3rd Flute (auxiliary) doubles as Piccolo 2. Hence, the other 2 flute players only play flute, not doubling roles. Meaning 4 Flute-type players total. Unless the description is inconsistent in its writing style.

Iron your shirt, dude !

"What do we do? How do we figure it out?" In walks Frank Zappa's ghost: "Hold my guitar."

I am a bass player who is starting to play ing classical settings and have no experience playing to a conductor's lead. Videos of conductors keeping basic time signatures for an extended amount would be a useful tool for my practice. so that I can get used to following and watching the conductor to keep time. Is there already anything out there like this??? all I can find is videos to teach the conductor how to lead but none on following.

I'll be conducting Handel's Messiah before you know it.

Down left left centre right up.. thats how I learned conducting 6/8. It feels most natural.

And then there was Jacob Collier

where balancing the orchestra is concerned, for that exercise to be impactful and efficient, actually having access to the various acoustic settings or simulations of room acoustic would be important info to have in order to inform your setup. Even wothin the most common setup, as you highlighted earlier, the placement of the cellos was adjustwd to avoid the resonance flowing across the front instruments.

Thins guy was born with an accordion

Yes! This is the video I was looking for. Thank you 🙏🏼

I was in great need of this. You have my sincere gratitude.

Thank you very much， Maestro. This is the greatest lesson for me to learn this knowledge that how a wonderful sound come out by the conductor.

Thank you. FZ brought me here.

As a VSL MIR Pro 3D user this was extremely helpful. With so many venues with different acoustic the conductor is still free to experiment.

It's such a pleasure to witness a great musician sharing his experience and wisdom in such a natural, cheerful way. Thank you Mr. Slatkin!

Really enjoying the lessons and find them very useful. I'm hoping to guest conduct at one of our community orchestras in the coming months. I like the way Leonard walked in tempo to the Copland in the intro of the video

Love these series!!!

of course the viola is the troublemaker >:)

Wonderful piece, Maestro.

Does the 1900-style setup with 1st and 2nd violins left/right give a nicer stereo image in person?

2:32 - 6/8 3:38 - 3/2 5:03 - 5/8 5:55 - 7/8

Bravo valzer musett 🎉🎉🎉

ms imen im adam from british school

Please send me a reply so can find this video more easily

Amazing !❤

confusing partic the 6/8 and 3 times.

Magnificent, thank you Maestro

Wow what an intro!

Thank you maestro, greetings from a composer from Greece/Cyprus

Maestro Slatkin: what would be playing during this meal?

I'm making my own baton right now, taken a few tries to get the stem right.

Guess another point to mention is to make sure your zipper on your pants is up. Even though your back is to the audience, it might distract the orchestra members and laughing might occur. People always tell me that I should be on a stage. There's one leaving at noon, "BE ON IT" !!!! Thanks Maestro, a great video.

Thank you!

putting violins together on the left and lower strings on the right is a modern layout, old layout in 19th century- early 20th was violins on both sides , and basses flanking the rear (in the case of Vienna Phil).

Just wanted to say thank you for this wonderful and inspirational series of videos which have been so helpful to my musical development.

¿Habrá una forma mas acotada para el "Presto"?

useless intro at beginning

✍🏿 💎

Thank you teacher

Thank you so much for this, this is brilliant!

Hard work is behind of his sounds. Only guitarist understand the matters
