On the question of the form and content of the conductor`s manual technique
Abstract
The article is devoted to some issues of the conductor's profession. The purpose of the study, its relevance and novelty are to identify the form and content of the conductor’s manual technique. The authors reveal the main aspects of the form and content of the conductor's gestures. First of all these are parts of the conductor's apparatus and its placement on an imaginary plane; conductor's diagrams and drawings depending on the counting fractions of the beat; performing touches in the expressive, visual and ensemble aspects of performance. A retrospective look at the formation and development of conducting art, showing important factors influencing the nature of gestures, contribute to a better understanding of this profession. Historically established means of non-verbal communication, transformed in the context of musical and administrative tasks, make it possible to see the expressive nature of the gesture that encourages action. Technical skill and plastic imagery of gestures contribute to the dual expression of form and content of the conductor's manual technique.
