Instruction:

Using the information in this article and the methodology for creating a job description, develop a job description. To evaluate your work, create a topic on the forum. We will always help and appreciate.

The psychology of the work of an orchestral musician is sparingly covered in the literature. The proposed article is intended for young musicians preparing to work in a symphony orchestra, and students of the conducting faculty. However, the problems raised in these notes are of interest not only to student youth, but to everyone who loves symphonic music.
The article is not about the features of one particular orchestral ensemble, but about the typical joys and sorrows that, according to the author, all orchestral musicians of the world experience.
For most of the orchestra's artists, collective creative work is the meaning of life and a source of great joy. However, the work of an orchestra player has a number of features that not all musicians like, but which one has to put up with, since they are inevitable. However, the negative aspects of orchestral work cannot obscure the musician's love for creativity.
Unfortunately, not all conductors need bright, imaginative thinking of musicians playing tutti. Some of them above all value not the individual creative style of the orchestra player, but precise, reliable, "fail-safe" playing and creative obedience. Standing up in words for the artistic uniqueness of the personality of each musician, in fact they easily do without this “service”.
Many musicians playing in a band complain that an individual creative style is required of them only once - during the competition to fill a vacant place in the orchestra. These musicians are, of course, disingenuous. In fact, they understand that in orchestral performance, the creative originality of each musician, including those who play in a group, is valued.
The conductor's idea, no matter how carefully thought out at home, is just the ground on which, in the course of working with the orchestra, details (sometimes very important) are polished. Each musician contributes to the final (voiced) version of the conductor's intentions.
The interpretation of the work proposed by the orchestra is the fruit of the efforts of many people, and the most responsible role in its creation is given to the conductor.
Conductor's auditory representations that arise before meeting with the orchestra cannot be realized in real sound with absolute accuracy. Already the first rehearsal introduces something unexpected.
Conductors do not like to say that orchestral musicians influence their interpretation of a piece they perform. If they admit it, they pretend to decide for themselves which proposals of the orchestra to accept and which to reject. So, for example, K. P. Kondrashin in the book “The World of the Conductor” writes: “If what the orchestra proposes differs from what you imagined for yourself, and you put up with it, you are no longer the master of the interpretation. You need to make the orchestra play in those timbres that you imagined.
In my opinion, the expression "master of interpretation" is used here poorly. Not a single conductor in the world can be the sole "master of interpretation", because the performing style of an orchestral group leaves a mark on everything he does. In the process of creative communication between the maestro and the orchestra, the “imagined” idea changes in details, regardless of his will.
The traditions in which the orchestral team was brought up have no less influence on the artistic result than the conductor's idea, born by the maestro at home. This is especially noticeable when a touring conductor performs, for example, the music of George Gershwin either in Russia or in San Francisco. No matter how the Russian conductor insists on his performance concept of "Porgy and Bess", the Negro musicians will play in their own way. And in case of success, the maestro pretends that he has achieved exactly what he wanted.
You can become the sole "master of interpretation" only if you play alone, for example, when performing piano pieces or sonatas. The conductor of the orchestra, no matter how much authority he enjoys, no matter how obedient the orchestra is to him, has no right to call himself that.
Students studying at the faculties of symphonic conducting should not forget that although the conductor has a leading role in creating the interpretation of a work, he is still not the only author of it.
Sometimes it happens that the artists of the orchestra, led by a talented organizer, unite for some time into a monolithic team of like-minded people. But it is impossible to imagine an orchestra in which all the musicians at every rehearsal, at every concert think and feel the same way.
If the orchestra group has its own creative style, then it acts as a collective soloist. The task is not only to play together, but also to create freely, liberated, as good soloists do, to create without fear of falling out of the ensemble, and without falling out of it. When the orchestra player is concerned only with how not to jump out, not stand out from the general sound, the whole group sounds flat, uninteresting.
Sometimes one hears the judgment that an orchestral musician playing in a band does not interpret the music, but only performs it. However, one of the postulates of musicology says that it is impossible to perform music without interpreting it.
Music cannot be explained by gestures or hands. Even a very experienced conductor manages to convey with his hands only the most general outline of his musical ideas. The relativity of the conductor's gesture and the limited possibilities of the verbal language oblige orchestral musicians to take a co-creative initiative, require them to concretize and deepen the conductor's intention. Remaining within the limits of the conductor's interpretation of the work, talented orchestrators offer additional colors and details, enriching the conductor's idea with their special performing style and individual timbre.
The plurality of readings of the conductor's intention does not lead to inconsistency in the playing of musicians, but forms a collective interpretation, where the decisive word belongs to the conductor.
A special conversation about the soloist of the orchestra.
The creative individuality of the soloist of the orchestra, of course, is highly valued. But only if it does not go beyond the auditory ideas of the maestro. In any orchestra, the soloist has to constantly subdue his creative desires so as not to violate the integrity of the artistic interpretation offered by the conductor.
The soloist of the orchestra interprets not only the composition, but also the conductor's interpretation. It is possible to scrupulously accurately fulfill all the finest instructions of the conductor's hand and, nevertheless, each time implement the conductor's requirements a little differently. The highest artistic results are achieved in those cases when all this happens unconsciously, without purposeful efforts, imperceptibly for the performer himself.
The words of the conductor Gennady Rozhdestvensky about such a purposeful transfer of thoughts to the orchestra, “so that they can be increased exponentially by the musicians and transmitted to the public in a “voiced” form, make a great impression. But is it really possible to "enlarge the conductor's thoughts" without introducing something of one's own into them, without filling them with one's own personal attitude?
A psychological microclimate favorable for the work of an orchestral group is possible only where the conductor, demanding artistic unity, does not suppress the performing individuality of the orchestra member, but relies on it, using it in the interests of the common cause.
It happens that the reading of a musical phrase by the soloist of the orchestra inspires the conductor so much that it seems to him that he himself initiated this reading. Hearing an interesting construction of a musical phrase in the performance of the soloist of the orchestra, after a while he demands just such a performance, and the requirement is presented to him as his personal find. It turns out that the conductor teaches the musician what he learned from him. There is probably nothing wrong with that. The co-creation of a talented conductor with a good orchestral musician enriches both, allows you to fully reveal the individual talent of both.
The feeling of creative freedom and seeming independence from the conductor is especially necessary for the soloist of the orchestra, who performs the extended phrase rubato il tempo. Some conductors, demonstrating manual technique, “explain” every note, every nuance with their hands. Sometimes they do it for ambitious reasons: they want to create the appearance that all creative successes and discoveries come only from them, the conductors, and from no one else.
At the concert, it would seem that everything is done correctly: everything that was agreed upon at the rehearsals is performed, and the conductor and the soloist of the orchestra feel the musical phrase in the same way, but meanwhile the performance is not impressive. The reason lies in the fact that the intimate nature of music cannot be conveyed under dictation. Success is achieved only if the conductor at the moment of tempo rubato controls only the key moments of the performance and conducts as if he knows nothing about the rhythmic freedom of the soloist within the bar. At the same time, the rhythmic deviations allowed by the soloist within the measure should not distort the tempo dictated by the conductor.
The great Mozart wrote to his father: “Many people cannot understand how the right hand plays tempo rubato in Adagio, while the left does not know anything about it. For others, the left hand follows the right. Sometimes the conductor and the soloist of the orchestra must act like the hands of Mozart: in concert, in a strict ensemble, but as if independently of each other.
Based on my own many years of experience in the orchestra, I came to the conclusion: the better the conductor, the more willingly and more often he trusts the skill of the soloist of the orchestra; The better the musician, the more respect he has for the work of the conductor and the more attentive to his artistic conception.
The worst thing is when a touring conductor goes to the first meeting with an unfamiliar band with an already established psychological attitude: to show his superiority, to “wipe his nose”.
There are conductors who think in advance what remark, in what place and in what tone they will make to the performer. They pronounce prepared replicas like a creative creed, regardless of how the orchestra artist plays.
There is a joke among musicians:
The blind-sighted conductor at the very first rehearsal shouts in annoyance:
- Third trombone, don't play so loud, you're not a locomotive!
- Maestro! Nobody plays the part of the third trombone. The musician is sick. Will come tomorrow.
- Well, tell him when he comes that he plays too loud in this place!
The dream of many conductors is to hear a confession from a musician: “Before meeting you, I thought that I knew the music we played today well, but after your rehearsal it became clear to me that this is not so. You opened up new sides to the composer's work for me. No matter how hypocritical the musician is, his words are likely to be taken at face value. After all, in the depths of his soul, the conductor thinks the same way.
The mistake of the soloist of the orchestra costs the team dearly. Inaccurate tempos, unsuccessfully placed climaxes, distortion of the form of the composition - all this is noted not by every listener, but everyone in the hall hears the horn player's kicks: both connoisseurs of orchestral art, and those who came to the concert by chance. It seems to people who are not too experienced in music that it is the horn player who is to blame for the fact that the performance of the orchestra did not leave a big impression, and, commenting on the concert, they remember only this kix.
The fear of an accidental mistake, forced by some conductors, fetters the figurative thinking of the musician, prevents him from "turning around" in full force. Conductor Oscar Danon said: “When you, standing on a mountaintop, admire the majestic landscape, a pile of manure under your feet does not spoil the spectacle, but in a desolate area, where the eye, as they say, has nowhere to stop, this pile will inevitably become the center of your attention. Random errors do not spoil the impression if the orchestra and conductor managed to deeply reveal the musical images of the work” (from the author’s personal diary).
Danon is definitely right. With an unsuccessful conductor's "direction", an accidental mistake of the horn player or kiks (involuntary breakdown of sound) acquires special significance - it seems that it was this error that ruined the creative aspirations of the orchestra and the conductor. After the concert, the conductor angrily scolds the horn player for making a mistake, but he easily forgives the musician's mistake if the performance as a whole was successful, if he is satisfied with his own work. In this case, the horn kix is ​​a minor accident.
Any conductor, both outstanding and mediocre, expects that his artistic discoveries will invariably arouse among musicians at least interest, if not delight. But one must have an open, open to new impressions susceptibility, in order to instantly "infect" someone else's thought, someone else's feeling. There are musicians who have not lost this ability until old age, the rest have only to obediently follow the conductor's instructions.
No matter how much experience and skill a musician has, he will still have to listen to polite and not very polite wishes, persistent suggestions, and sometimes sarcastic remarks or irritated shouts at the rehearsal. Sometimes it gets boring. But such is the inevitable feature of the profession of an orchestra player. There is no other method of rehearsal work. And the more responsible the performed part, the greater the requirements of the conductor for the orchestra. The musician needs to get used to it.
The work of an orchestral musician does not consist solely of artistic achievement. There are also severe failures. An orchestra performer, like a boxer, needs to learn how to "take a punch." No matter how painful it is after a performance mistake, no matter how insulting it is after a stinging conductor's remark, one must still find the strength in oneself to concentrate on creative tasks. No matter how wonderful spiritual qualities the conductor possesses, he will not help the musician and will not console him in a moment of failure. The soloist of the orchestra works in a large team, but he is always alone. It is necessary to analyze the reasons for the oversight on your own in order not to step on the same rake. Many orchestra players remember and experience creative mistakes they made many years ago, and no conductor's reproaches, even the most offensive ones, can compare with the pain that they have been carrying in their hearts for many years.
Conductors replace each other and each has his own style of rehearsal work. Some persistently, and at the same time calmly, achieve their goals, others bring unnecessary nervousness into the work. An orchestral musician needs to flexibly adapt to any method of leadership and in any situation, no matter how tense the psychological atmosphere, to fully use all his creative possibilities, to play his part with full dedication.
Not only the messengers of the gods rise to the sacred podium. If a conductor comes to the orchestra, whose creative idea has not matured, the rehearsal process boils down to the fact that one person tirelessly points out the shortcomings of other people for many hours. The appearance of useful activity is created, but in fact there is no benefit from such dreary rehearsals. In these cases, the musician requires great endurance and patience.
No matter how hard the maestro tries to treat all the musicians of the orchestra equally, the mistakes of one person are more annoying, and the mistakes of another less. There is no escape from this, this happens in all creative teams of the world. If a good musician irritates a good conductor in some way, then both suffer losses. In this case, the musician himself needs to understand what traits of his character interfere with joint work, and try to get rid of these traits. Of course, it is not easy to define, and even more difficult to eliminate in oneself human qualities that interfere with collective creativity. You need to be a person who is comfortable in communication - simple, understandable, executive, without ambition. If the musician knows more about the piece he is performing than the conductor, he should not emphasize it. In those cases when the conductor misses, the musician should not show by word, facial expression or gesture that he noticed it. The maestro will correct his mistake himself.
It is difficult to live in an orchestra for people who are jealous of other people's successes, touchy, easily vulnerable, suspicious, those who do not know how to obey. If it is true that "the artist's performance reflects his personality, his psyche" if it is true that "weak sides of the human character become the weak sides of the creative individuality", then we have to admit that the human character of the orchestra player determines many features of his performing talent.
The resistance of some musicians, who react painfully to any remark of the conductor, can be explained by various reasons: arrogance, bad upbringing, disappointment in the profession... We have to get rid of such musicians. But in those ensembles where the conductor knows how to captivate with an interesting interpretation of the work, where remarks are not necessarily clothed in the form of reproach, where the rehearsal is not reduced to stating obvious mistakes, even the most bitter stubbornness does not find a reason for its expression.
And one more negative side of orchestral work. For an orchestra musician, there is no concept of "promotion". Having become the concertmaster of the group, having received an honorary title, he discovers that he has reached the highest point in his career and now, no matter how many years he works, he is destined to sit down every day at the same familiar console, perform all the same familiar responsibilities. A good musician who loves his work does it all with pleasure.
Difficulties and sorrows cannot overshadow the joy of participation in high art. Performing the music of great composers, creatively communicating with outstanding musicians of the world, actively participating in the festival of concert performances is happiness!
The main task of an orchestral musician can be briefly expressed as follows: while maintaining the individuality of the performing style, try, as far as possible, to realize the intention of the author and conductor as accurately as possible.
Working with a talented conductor, an interesting personality is not a compulsion. Submission to him does not deprive the artist of the orchestra of creative freedom. In this case, the conductor appears before the orchestra not as a dictator, but as an authoritative partner in the ensemble. Working with him is very honorable and instructive. Those bright days, when both the conductor and the orchestra realize an interesting interpretation of the work, when the musicians want to play the way the maestro conducts, and the conductor wants to conduct the way the orchestra plays, are remembered for many years.
Graduates of music universities who are going to work in a symphony team must know all the subtleties of their chosen profession, and if difficulties do not frighten them, if the art of orchestral playing gives them joy, they must boldly join the ranks of a wonderful brotherhood called the orchestra. Good luck and happiness to you, orchestra! Your profession is wonderful!

The number of musicians also depended on his taste and material well-being. Today there are different types of orchestra. The symphony orchestra is considered the most complete of them. There are also brass, pop orchestras, groups of Russian folk instruments, etc. The artist is the main performer of such an orchestra.
