    "Rite of Spring on Hard Mode" is why we conductors chuckle when people ask "Don't you guys just wave your arms around?" The big differences between the game and real life are we don't have little traffic directions floating in front of our face telling us what to do (man, I wish!) and there's no track to follow, so there isn't even any groove to get into - we have to make the groove!!
    And yes, musicians will 100% intentionally play poorly if you are sucking. It won't be because they suddenly got bad at their instruments - it will be to punish us for being bad at our jobs. Probably the most realistic part of the game 😅

      Like just look at this - legend. It looks like he's just flailing or dancing around but literally every single movement he makes (by memory) is to direct the orchestra through one of the most difficult pieces ever written, and he makes it look almost easy. ua-cam.com/video/a9M2oTHa3GM/v-deo.htmlsi=15YZZB-MbZzaP2s2&t=1800

      So in your opinion, how realistic are the movements in the game?
      Do they serve a purpose or are they just imaginary?

      @@fds7476​​⁠I’ll tell you, honestly, they are pretty close - pleasantly surprising. Obviously every conductor does things a little differently as it is, so there’s room for interpretation. Some of the “arrow direction” motions are not quite “correct” but in general, you can definitely tell the motions were designed by someone who gets what conductors do.
      Things have been simplified in most cases, and actually made more difficult than reality in a few spots, but they got close enough that while I wouldn’t use it as a teaching tool, I’d definitely use it to show my friends “what it feels like to do what I do”

    Fun fact: over 2 years ago a game called... well, Maestro VR debuted in early access on Steam. This is completely another game, much more realistic if you ask me, because the first thing it teaches you is how to keep the metrum and tempo in different counts and you have to do this the whole time! This game here is much more a conductor phantasy and gives much more thrill :D

      In a major orchestra, there are more than enough players keeping time that a conductor is needed for giving the initial tempo and cues for major points - the rest is true musicians doing their thing. The thrill does indeed exist, but many will never experience it

    I was in band and marching band for the entirety of my school life. This brought back good memories lol. Your conducting skills are incredibly hilarious. The only thing missing is the conductor stopping the song half way to yell at the percussion for being off beat and thus messing everyone up. It’s always their fault lol.

    Could you imagine the 1812 overture in that french revolution stage. it would be cool too if they could be dressed as the San Cullottes. or imagine if they brought a musical theater DLC to it and you could be doing Les mis on the that stage. or imagine being in the theater and conducting Phantom of the opera and the chandeleir falls.

    • @Kyuschi
      @Kyuschi 3 місяці тому +5

      That's actually not the french revolution, at least not the one you're probably thinking of. The flag on the left tower is actually the flag of the paris commune, which existed for 3 months in 1871 and was the first "successful" communist revolution.
      I'm not sure whether that was an intentional choice or just some dev looking up "french revolution flag" and picking the wrong one, because it seems like kind of a weird choice since it's presumably supposed to be for 1812 overture and those types of songs(though imo the commune does have a couple good songs of it's own, different vibe)

    Even more than most VR games, video does not do how much fun this is justice. I enjoy many rhythm music games in VR (I mean, who doesn't like Beat Saber?) but there's an added level of exhilaration in Maestro that's next level.
    Cannot recommend it highly enough if this kind of game is your thing, and I genuinely cannot wait to see what DLC they have in store.

    Copyrighted orchestral music is first come first serve on who claims it, is my observation.
    The music is not copyrighted, the audio is. But then if you say recorded your own version of a bach suite and it sounds identical to london phil, they could copyright that.
    But this again is just my observation based off previous youtubers attempting to use copyrighted orchestra music.

    • @Elmithian
      @Elmithian 2 місяці тому +5

      I will say right out I think that's insanely dumb. Once music has entered public sphere, you can try to sell your version, but I don't think that so long as it is pretty much copy of the intended version, that it should have any right being copyrighted at all.

    • @angbandsbane
      @angbandsbane Місяць тому

      Yep. Legally-speaking, there are two components to a song--the song itself, and the actual recording, and both are protected by different copyrights and different standards. The stuff like Mozart, Bach, etc. is public domain because it is so old but newer recordings...yeah.
      Now, if you were to find a recording of an orchestra from, say 1900, that *MIGHT* be in public domain. (I confess, I don't really remember how that works, though)

  • @ArchiRobbie
    @ArchiRobbie 2 місяці тому +4

    Copyright on classical music is not about the piece/song itself but about the performance. An orchestra from X place will have their recording and then one from Y will have theirs and both be copyrighted. The ones that usually aren't, are older performances that are usually over 50 years old at this point or more but still sound excellent. Not knowing where they got theirs and not knowing if it would function as a game soundtrack then I'd assume it would be. That's unfortunate tho, it being a game about music and then basically, in a way, not making it easy for people tho share their experiences with others.

I am a cellist in my high school orchestra(I am lucky to have a full orchestra, albeit we do have some limitations on pieces due to winds), and it is hard enough just to play. A lot of errors beside that as well- conductors mostly will still conduct through solos- with the exception sometimes(e.g. Zigeunerweisen by Sarasate- so much rubato for soloist)
