Using Modern Conducting Approaches in the Performance of Classical Repertoire

Abstract

The study aims to reveal the conducting techniques as a complex unified system. Its components are profoundly interconnected and have inherent functions, content and significance. The research methods chosen were a remote survey, assembly methods, analysis and comparison of the critical elements of the phenomenon called “the means of the conducting system in the 21st century”. The study has highlighted the importance of several modern principles of conducting. The study discovered a set of modern technical means of creating a performance: multimedia resources, software, modernised engineering equipment, and Internet communication tools. The dramaturgical plan of a piece of music is effectively implemented with their help, according to 81% of respondents. The crystallisation of the compositional structure based on modernised conducting tools is fully realised, as 85% of students say. The effect produced by the sound quality and a system of new gestures gazes, and articulation is best achieved, according to 89% of respondents. Prospects for further research in this area lie in the need to systematise modern conducting techniques when performing pieces of classical music and music of other styles, national schools, and eras.
