Chapter 202 Basic Qualities to be Possessed by a Command Post

Seeing that the musicians had no intention of objecting, the Grandmaster was also very happy. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Okay, since everyone has no objection to me joining temporarily, it just so happens that Zhang Tuan also wants to try my skills in commanding. Well, if you don't object, let's practice the "Wilhelm Retreat March" together in a while. Let's pick it up, and do a good job according to the position where we usually attend the performance, Tianjiao, you are the chief, and you will lead everyone to proofread in a while. ”

With that, the Grandmaster stepped down from the command platform and waved at Viagra.

"What's wrong?" asked Li Wei as he walked over quickly.

"Well, viagra, do you have any official costumes here?" asked the Grandmaster in a low voice as he looked at the musicians in action.

"Yes, what are you asking for? Could it be that you still want to change into a formal uniform to practice together?"

The Grandmaster smiled, "That's right, even if it's practice, I have to wear formal clothes. It's just that I came here temporarily today and didn't prepare, so I asked you for it. ”

Li Wei shrugged his shoulders, tilted his head, and walked towards a room first.

Orchestra conductor is a very strict role, not to mention whether you are good or bad as a conductor, at least in terms of dress, as long as the conductor stands on that small podium, he must wear formal clothes.

Of course, you can practice without formal attire, after all, this is just practice, and there are no hard and fast dress requirements. But the Grandmaster was different, the Grandmaster was extremely demanding of himself, and he always remembered what the professor had said to them when he was in school.

"The conductor is not only the soul of an orchestra, but also the face of an orchestra! You, the future orchestra conductor, when you stand on the conductor's stage, the eyes of everyone in the audience will focus on you, so at this time, you represent the image of the whole orchestra! So, as a conductor, whether you are in a formal performance or in practice, as long as you stand in that supreme position, then you must wear a formal attire! It's a sign of respect for the audience, for all the musicians in the orchestra, and for the profession of conducting!"

It was precisely because the Grandmaster had always remembered what the old professor had said, that even though it was just a practice today, the Grandmaster still didn't want to be too casual.

Li Wei's stature is about the same as that of the grandmaster, and Li Wei, as a full-time pianist in the orchestra, naturally stores the formal clothes he wears during performances in the orchestra.

It is a black tuxedo, black leather shoes, a white shirt, and a black bow tie.

A complete set of outfits. A very formal set of outfits.

After the Grandmaster changed into this outfit, he immediately walked towards the performance hall outside.

By this time, all the members of the orchestra were already sitting in their respective positions, waiting for the arrival of the grandmaster, the orchestra's royal composer and trusted conductor.

When the Grandmaster walked up from one side of the stage, the eyes of the more than forty musicians in the group lit up.

Compared with Zhang Dabao, the grandmaster's figure is more upright, and the grandmaster has changed into a formal suit, and he has specially sprayed some gel water on his head, so the grandmaster's appearance, not to mention anything else, at least this appearance is more than a step higher than Zhang Dabao.

Zhang Dabao and several field attendants were already sitting in the audience at this time. Although this performance hall is usually a place for orchestras to practice, it is also a standard performance hall, with a stage, a conductor's stage, and audience seats.

The Grandmaster paused slightly as he stepped onto the stage from the side of the stage, his eyes scanning the empty seats below.

Although there were only a few people sitting in the audience, the Grandmaster still secretly clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and then raised his head and walked towards the command platform unhurriedly.

The pace of the conductor on the stage is also strictly required, the speed should not be too fast, nor too slow, and the distance of the pace should also be consistent.

These were all professionally trained when the Grandmaster was in the Imperial Command Department.

In short, as long as the conductor steps on the stage of the performance, then his every move has very strict standards.

These on-stage behaviors are the most basic things, and if you can't even do these most basic things, it can only be a joke.

I have to say that the professional conductor who has been trained by the class is different from the conductor who was born halfway like Zhang Dabao, not to mention anything else, just these few steps, as well as the confident smile on his face, and the graceful and generous demeanor, are enough to shock the hearts of all the musicians on the stage.

The Grandmaster walked to the podium, first smiled and shook Yan Tianjiao's hand, and then bowed slightly to all the musicians, and then raised his hands and motioned for all the musicians to stand up.

The principal of the first violin of the orchestra and the principal of the entire orchestra is second only to the conductor in the orchestra. Therefore, the first action of the conductor after taking the stage is to shake hands with the principal violin.

As for the whole orchestra to stand up, the conductor is to lead the orchestra to greet the audience.

The grandmaster's very orthodox approach also made these musicians, who originally had a little bit of a desire to watch the excitement in their hearts, suddenly be in awe.

Whether the grandmaster is good or bad in conducting, they don't know now, but from changing clothes before to going on stage, to what he is doing now, is what a conductor should do before performing.

Obviously, the young man on the podium did a good job, and there was no trace of embarrassment and panic. Yes, it's just a kind of graceful generosity.

Although there were not many spectators in the audience, the grandmaster still turned around with a smile after all the musicians stood up, his feet and heels together, his front toes apart in a figure-eight shape, and his eyes followed his head to slowly scan the audience from left to right, as if the audience was already full of hundreds of spectators at this time.

After a slight pause, the Grandmaster's arms naturally opened and made a welcoming gesture, and after a pause of more than two seconds, his left hand caressed his chest, his right hand naturally drooped, and his upper body leaned forward slightly about fifteen degrees, making a standard English gentleman's bow.

Bow to the audience, which is a must-do before the concert begins.

When I was in school, this movement was also trained by special people. The coordination of the eyes and head movements, how to stand with the legs, how to make the arms pose, and how to bow are all very strict standards.

A field attendant beside Zhang Dabao smiled and whispered: "Boss, the master's actions are much more standard than yours!"

Zhang Dabao glared at the guy angrily and said, "Damn, can I compare with others? The master of the family is a high-achieving student who graduated from the Huangyin Command Department, and this whole set of actions of others has been professionally trained. Where can I compare to a half-way monk?"

The clerk stuck out his tongue and stopped squeaking.

After the grandmaster on the podium finished bowing, he turned around, pressed his hands weakly, and more than forty musicians nodded slightly at the grandmaster at the same time, and then sat down separately.

The grandmaster looked at the more than forty musicians in front of him, and his heart was still a little excited.

After all, I haven't stood on the command platform for more than a year, and now I suddenly stand on this small command platform, and it would be false to say that I am not excited.

This position is not large, but it is the supreme position of this orchestra. Standing here, you are the controller of this orchestra, you are the controller of this stage, and you are the controller of the entire performance hall!

With a smile on his face, the Grandmaster glanced at the musicians of the entire orchestra, and when he saw the position of the orchestra musicians, the Grandmaster knew that he should conduct in that way.

Orchestra musicians are usually seated in two ways, one is American and the other is European.

The European-style seating arrangement is more suitable for playing classical symphonies.

Because of the conception of classical symphonic works, the first violin and the second violin often play a question-and-answer duet, and their timbre is the same, so that they are arranged on the left and right sides of the conductor, and it is easy to distinguish them. In addition, in this arrangement, the "f" sound hole of the first violin faces the audience, and the "f" sound hole of the second violin faces away from the audience, which is easy to distinguish the main and secondary when playing, and if you look at it from the outside, this arrangement is also more symmetrical and beautiful.

However, if the symphony orchestra in this arrangement is allowed to play modern and modern works, the effect will be worse, because the conception of the first violin and the second violin of modern and modern works is basically unified in the same part, and if it is divided into two sides, it is not only difficult to cooperate, but also difficult to take care of the conductor.

If we talk about the specific point, the European seating arrangement, is that when the conductor faces the musicians, the conductor's left hand is the first violin in the first row, and the right hand is the second violin. Behind the first violin, there is the alto violin, while behind the second violin, there is the cello.

Directly opposite the conductor is the piccolo and flute, followed by the oboe and English horn, then the clarinet and bassoon, then the French horn and trumpet, then the trombone's tuba, and finally percussion instruments such as timpani, snare drums, cymbals, etc.

As for the American seating arrangement, it has great advantages when playing Romantic, modern and modern symphonic works, in addition to the above-mentioned conductor to take care of the violin 1 and violin 2 voices, the cello is arranged in the right front, which is easy to make the bass part of the orchestra also stand out when playing, so that the cello and violin echo each other, and can achieve the melody, bass, and bass of the string group. At present, many symphony orchestras in the world have adopted this American-style orchestra seat arrangement, and the Tianqu Symphony Orchestra also adopts this seat arrangement.

The arrangement of American seats is very different from that of European seats.

For example, the conductor faces the musician, with the first and second violins on the left hand side, and the alto and cello and double bass on the right hand, with the principal of the second violin and the principal alto violin located directly opposite the conductor.

Behind the second violin and alto violin, there is the wind section, and finally the percussion.

As for the unconventional orchestra instruments such as the piano and harp, if necessary, they are placed at the far end of the second violin.

The Grandmaster had never seen the Tianqu Symphony Orchestra perform before, so he first had to understand the arrangement of the seats of the Tianqu Symphony Orchestra when he took the stage, so as not to make a mistake when conducting at that time.

These are the basic qualities that a commander must possess. (To be continued.) )
