No, nothing on the internet is a lie. It's much more likely that those are headless musicians, i was simply wondering how they can play if they cant see the composer conductor.

[–]NovaMouser 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I have always wondered how much the conductors actually do to begin with, I feel like this would not have much of an impact on the playing...

[–]IWantThat 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

With a group of professional musicians, it wouldn't have an impact. Conductors are only used as time-keepers for beginner/inexperienced groups. For a professional group, they are there to interpret the score and direct the musicians how to bring more attention to certain parts of the music. For example, "telling" - with their hands during a performance - a section of instruments to play a little louder because they're not being heard due to the acoustics of that particular room.

[–]NovaMouser 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Ahh alright then, so even in experienced groups they do something.

[–]IWantThat 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah. Most of the conductor's work is done during rehearsals. The instrumentalists will already know how to play the notes and rhythms, but the conductor will set the tone of the piece of music. He'll determine how fast the "fast" section should be or what exactly "lively" should sound like. He may talk the musicians through the music and say to make one particular part sound like they're popping bubbles, or to have them keep in mind the visual of prairie dogs popping their heads up for another part. During the performance, the conductor will give the orchestra cues that remind them of all of those things they talked about during rehearsals. But yeah, he'll also emphasize certain parts and even provide help with keeping time. It may seem like during the performance they don't do much, but like I said, it's usually because the important stuff happens before a performance.

[–]NovaMouser 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well TIL, this is why I enjoy reddit, I have been holding that belief that they don't do anything since I was a kid watching Tom and Jerry.

[–]IWantThat 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Cool, then I'm glad that I could at least give you another perspective :) By the way, I'm not a conductor or even a professional musician, but I did play in band throughout high school and college and had a bunch of awesome guest conductors. Your question brought back some good memories. The prairie dog thing I mentioned above really was an example used during a rehearsal I was in! The conductor crouched down behind his music stand, sang the part of the music we were working on, and popped up from behind the music stand at the appropriate time to show us when/how he wanted that little musical "prairie dog" outburst to happen. Anyway, sorry for typing so much, but I'm glad that you asked your question!

[–]trumann 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It helps if you think of them like a sports coach, they may not necessarily do a lot of work during the actual game, a few directions here and there, the real work they do is preparation so that the players do what they have to do.

Woah , that's crazy, I've totally been there.

So me and Chris are roaming around when we decide to go see an opera. We get in (after some snooty security type person finally let us through) and decide to hit up the bar first. Chris ordered two Jager bombs, two tequila slammers and six beers, which we proceed to down with the force of a thousand titans (there was 10 minuets to show time). We get in and see this crazy flailing arm thing and we just loose our shit. Chris says to me "Man, I bet you're too much of a bitch to creep behind those performers while they're playing" . Now I'm no bitch, so I promptly set down my fourth beer of the night (we grabbed another before going in) and creep my ass to the back of the stage.I was there for a little while until one of the violin chicks ended up calling me out.

I ended up sleeping with her.

If anyone has ever been to a concert with a slightly less professional/more emotional conductor, this is exactly what they look like. That's why there's a rail at the back of the conductor podium: to keep them from falling backwards.
