i did some online research n gosh! i was so wrong abt the conductor. his role is so impt but at the same time, he is similar to a quarterback or baseball pitcher who receive credits for gd play. y? becos he is aware tat he wouldnt b able to conduct a gd piece without the talents and teamwork of the ensemble.

the whole is definitely much bigger than its part! this sentence really describes very well how an orchestra works while bringin together so many different muscial talents who have to put aside their individual styles and to get use to the conductor's style. apparently, the conductor interprets a composer's piece and comes up with his own interpretation and instructs his ensemble to play the piece to his assigned pace n manner.... wow!

and i even read tat if a listener is experienced enough, one can even tell the nationality of the composer, be it british, russian, french, austrian n so on, from the multifaceted sounds of the music..... AWESOME!!!

there's someone (cant remember the name) who composed a piece designed to be played by 1000 musicians n his composition is often touted as the aptly named Symphony of a Thousand. as such performances entails alot of logistical n obvious economical costs, modern performances of this piece is usually scaled down to 500 players.... but still.... i juz hav to say i am now so bowled over by classical music

heheeeee =)
