1. Types of concerts

2. Concert etiquette< /p>

Attire:

Remember one thing: as long as you don’t wear slippers and pants, tuxedos are for performers, so don’t steal the show from those on stage.

Entering the venue:

If you are one minute late, half of the ticket price will be lost. Just enter the venue, do not take pictures, do not record, and keep your mobile phone silent.

Applause:

The general principle is that you can only applaud after the entire song is finished.

If you don’t know how to applaud, there are four ways to solve it: 1. Familiarize yourself with the song in advance? 2 . To develop good habits, you must take the program list and count the number of breaks; 3. Look at the gestures of the performers and conductor; 4. Wait until everyone else applauds before applauding. ?

Be sure not to applaud between movements, but there is an exception. The end of the first movement of the concerto is very brilliant, and then you feel that the soloist played too well. In this case, you can applaud of.

The cheers are in Italian. There are three situations: If you are a male performer, you call Bravo! Female performers, just call brava! If it's a band, you call bravi!

Russian concertos like to flex their muscles, such as Rachmaninov’s concerto and Tchaikovsky’s concerto, which are commonly known as chest-breaking boulders.

3. How to choose an orchestra

There are five top orchestras: Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam, and Chicago Symphony Orchestra .

Ps: These bands are willing to go there because they probably only come to China once every 30 years.

First-tier bands: Go even if you have to fight to the death, but you won’t go even if you fight to the death

World-famous bands: Decide whether to go or not based on the level of interest in the repertoire

4. How to choose a seat

How to choose a seat when listening to piano: Don’t sit on the back of the piano. It is best to face the front right of the stage, and don’t be too far away

How to choose a seat when listening to string music Seat: The upper part is better, the balcony on the second floor

How to choose a seat for listening to vocal music: behind the middle section

5. The importance of conducting

Common misunderstandings:

1. No one cares about what he wants from him

2. Is he just a metronome?

3. Is the conductor good or not? Are the movements cool?

What is the skill of conducting?

One minute on stage and ten years off stage. The conductor is the soul of an orchestra, and 95% of the conductor’s efforts are in rehearsal

2. The music we hear is actually the music in the wisdom heart. The score gives you a skeleton, and you have to follow your own Only by filling it with flesh and blood can he come alive.
