This is a good point indeed, perceived volume of trumpet behind the trumpet is certainly different from the volume in front. The position of the conductor makes all the sense, among other things, to properly balance the wall of sound leaving the orchestra and "charging" towards the audience.
| Originally posted by oneeyedhobbit Well, one day said conducter told one of the other trumpets to match my volume and tossed me in the auditorium. I was...humbled...to say the least. The balance was all off, just like I feel it is on stage with a group. The sound is unique, and I love playing on stage with a great ensemble, but when I really really want to critically listen out in the auditorium is the only place to be--proper balance and (assuming its a good auditorium) acoustics. |
