Orchestra Observation Paper

He does not express too much expression on his face. But, I can sense that he has passion and focusing in the music. Times to times he puts his bottom part of the lip or making chin forward. Which is the signal to his engagement with the music and the orchestra.

Conductors Karajan has so much control over to his orchestra. I feel more so of relaxing into his conducting. He has very stiff shoulder style of conducting. I am not too sure if he is conducting beat ahead of the orchestra, but i sense that the sound is lagging compared to his conducting time. At minute 9:20, he conducts in a way that creates small circular motions in and out. I think that represents the orchestra to play staccato and smaller sound.

I can see that he is a perfectionist. He wants every beat to be the way he wants it. He is so emotional and expressive with facial expression. But more so we can signal his engagement with his overly expressive eye balls.

I can recognize his style is not relaxing. This so is much faster and strong at the beat change later. His conducting style has more movement into his arm and elbow; and he moves his back a lot up down and side to side; this signals that he is making engagement with each section of his orchestra. I hear great balance in his music.

Also at minute 6, I can see his motion of his lips that he is singing with the band; which is another way of giving cue to the band. This music was the fastest piece compared to other conductor’s music style.

Favorite Orchestra: Beethoven - Symphony No 1 in C major, Op 21 - Thielemann

I will define which orchesta I will pay the most, if i have the decisions to by the ticket. My price reaction of the equilibrium is most high for conductor Thielemann’s orchester. I define price to the concert depend on the level of their entertainment. I enjoyed the most watching Thielemann, which was very entertaining.

All five conductors are profession at leading the orchestra and forming a good sound. Thielemann’s body language is the reason why I want to give higher price compared to other shows. His range motions of body language and his facial expression are key to being my favorite
