Take a tour of my personal journey through score marking! I explain the Color Marking Method of score marking, and my current method of score marking. I illustrate all the symbols used in score marking and mark a score in real-time. I also take you on a tour of a fully learned score and the markings in that score.
Thank you soo much for score reading , this video is what I need for my orchestra class it’s all here. You explained so clearly it goes right ways, I loved how you talk and teach, it make me alive to listening you, Double Thank you ❤️❤️🍎🍎🍎🎵
It's an issue of literal meaning versus universal musical meaning, and thus nothing to quibble with here about this conductor's definition of the term. Yes, "ad agio" literally menas "at ease" but, like so many other terms, its literal meaning was metamorphosed long ago into an idiomatic, universalized musical meaning, which is indeed "very slowly". Another example is "crescendo". The word "crescendo" (from the verb "crescere") does not literally mean "to get louder". It just means "to grow" or "to develop". But, of course, in music it means "to get louder" or "to grow in volume". Again, the idiomatic musical meaning developed naturally from the literal meaning.
1. Beethoven's metronome marking is written down the bottom of the first page, it's incorrect to say that there are no metronome marks 2. Fg is not fugato (fugato is fugue), it is fagotto
Yeah but no one ever follows it. Beethoven probably put in metronome markings after he had lost his hearing because symphony 1 sounds great, but not when played at the designated tempo.
Which video editor do you use? Great video by the way! I want to pursue conducting but I didn't think I could because despite being very well self taught in reading orchestral scores, I'm not the best piano player. Thanks!
I edit on Adobe Premiere. You don't have to be a pianist to pursue orchestral conducting, but you do need proficiency in an orchestral instrument. I only play the piano a little bit; my instrument is the cello.
Great video, I'm fairly faithful to the colour method but theres a bunch of stuff I'd take from the bernstein markings as well (just gotta make sure to not over clutter my scores when I start doing that). Such a great resource that I'll be sure to keep on hand! Are there any texts on score study that you'd recommend? I have the Battisti and Garofalo guide to score study and have been through Green's Modern Conductor as well, but any other suggestions are more than welcome (hopefully some that are more wind band centric?)
The most up-to-date conductor's guide to conducting is Gustav Meier's The Score, the Orchestra, and the Conductor, but it does have a wonky system for labeling woodwind doubling. www.amazon.com/Score-Orchestra-Conductor-Gustav-Meier/dp/0195326369 Another great book about conducting is Markand Thackar's On the Principles and Practice of Conducting. It's more generally about conducting, so can be applied to wind band conducting more easily than the Meier.
Hmmm… Three pencil colors and four highlighter colors. I use red and blue pencils for dynamics, a purple pencil and a regular pencil for on-score notes, and if I’m working in a low lighting setting like an opera pit, four highlighter colors: blue for start of staves, pink for meter changes, green for repeats, and orange for other markings.

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks! It’s an interesting process and every conductor has a strong opinion about it.
Very informative video, thanks a lot for making this!
Thank you!
Hey great video! To give one specific thing, adagio or 'ad agio' in Italian means "at ease" but yes you could also just say slowly. Excellent work!

This was soooo helpful.

Just because you haven't heard mainstream recordings that don't follow it, doesn't mean no one does
@@FVM- fine I’ll amend it to almost no one does because it doesn’t sound good when played that fast.
@@jacksonpayne3477 Disagree! But aside from all of this, my point is that there are metronome marks. So to say there are none is incorrect
@@FVM- fair enough

What's Mark and Thackers (or something like that)?, you mentioned to check on their class "how to make beautiful music"
He’s an American conductor and teacher. He teaches a zoom class “Make Beautiful Music” that is wonderful. www.markandthakar.com/

@@DominiqueRoyemthank you so much
20:20 that's not a division sign, but a square root...
Yes! I misspoke. Thanks for watching!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
WHY ARE YOU YELLING
Turn down your volume? You control how loud I am!
@@DominiqueRoyem I wish I could!
The volume is fine, smdh.
@@Gorboduc your mom is fine.
