Conductor’s gesture as sign and signification

Abstract

Like all arts, conducting is an art of the movement that comes from the inner being, from her life feeling. The conductor’s gesture is associated with musical structures and feelings of which he is converted to sound perception. The conductor reveals the score content, stores it in his interior, passes it through the affectivity filter, and creates an inner model on which he will act outside as the conducting gesture full of significations. Without this charge, it would be inadequate and false.
