The Analysis of Instrumental Conducting<br />
Techniques and their Effectiveness: Does<br />
it Make a Difference?<br />
Peter Kohrman<br />
This research project is an in depth analysis<br />
of various instrumental conducting techniques<br />
and their effectiveness at conveying<br />
musical expression to an ensemble. This<br />
project will review both primary and secondary<br />
sources to determine different conducting<br />
styles. Specifically, this project will<br />
analyze the effectiveness of said techniques<br />
in the three stages of the conducting process:<br />
score analysis, rehearsal, and performance.<br />
In addition, this project will review<br />
the concepts and recordings of prolific conductors<br />
such as: Leonard Bernstein, Riccardo<br />
Muti, Herbert von Karajan, Michael Tilson<br />
Thomas, and Pierre Boulez. In the end,<br />
the purpose of this project is to determine<br />
and establish a series of the most effective<br />
conducting techniques for the intent of creating<br />
transcendental musical experiences.<br />
