"Conduct the music." - The conductor must believe he can deliver the finest performance his audience has ever witnessed. His state of mind, body posture and body language, must be relevant to the music score at hand throughout. Meaningful visual communication earns the attention and respect of his musician colleagues and audience. An unique performance evolves as the conductor indicates change in mood and tempo, delivers precise attacks and releases, adjusts balance and keeps the melody to the fore. The conductor who conducts "the music" influences by empathy the very breathing of a chorus and the orchestra's wind instrument section. String players know to adjust their bowing technique and percussionists select appropriate mallets to reflect a well defined mood and spirit. Conductors should avoid lecturing. Instead, they should "conduct the music." Attentive musicians follow by empathy. The audience does as well. They equate meaningful gesture to a great performance and a memorable event. - WILLIAM SAVOLA - http://www.youtube.com/user/williamsavola - (The recorded sound tracks of some amateur orchestras performances are distorted.) - http://musdata.info/musician/william-donald-savola
