Conducting Lesson Seiji Ozawa

Again, I told you yesterday, I'm not telling you how to conduct Beethoven. That you must know. I don't teach you how to conduct Beethoven. What is Beethoven, you know. Oh, no. You know. So, I am telling you how to tell orchestra what you want. Yeah? That's my tongue, like T, P. Understand? Yes. The tongue, language of conducting. Conducting is very strange, you know. We say conducting technique, but nobody knows. Really not, not to know. And for all afternoon, I was conducting, never thought about technique. You just do it. But yet, when I teach, I have to say, this must be that and that. It's almost impossible. But I guess, if you, technique, musical technique is, when you feel something, this should come naturally to the music. And that, you need, you have to be ready for those technique. Finger technique, or mouth, head, or heart. That we all combine in technique, that music come very naturally through to this condition. And then, it's interesting. The question is, become what kind of life you have. What kind of, what kind of person you are. Become more important. What kind of feeling, what kind, what you can feel. So, now you try, easy as possible. And most important, listen, listen, listen. Three spot to listen. Not too bad. Try. Listen, listen here, and listen this one. Listen, listen. Yes, this is one of the most difficult for any orchestra. I think you can do it now. For you, don't show too much, because they can listen. I'm telling you for your life, music is not just melody. Music is more inside, more depth. And if you can study this, this summer, fantastic for your life. You don't study this way, looking at Mr. Bernstein, or Maestro von Karajan. No, here, and those great maestro has their own way. If you copy, dead. I saw so many young conductor. Maestro von Karajan has only he can do. Maestro Bernstein can do only he can do. You, you must create yourself.
