The collective form of music performance inevitably requires a consistent pace and mutual cooperation among various components. It makes the emergence of a conductor who dominates the overall performance of music an objective necessity, and also puts forward extremely comprehensive and strict requirements for the conductor’s musical literacy and even comprehensive ability. In the performance of a large symphony orchestra, the conductor should have skilled physical expression, rich music knowledge, sharp auditory ability and accurate understanding capacity. The conductors of symphony orchestras use indicative, emotional, and evaluative gestures to enhance people's understanding of symphony, interpret the emotions that symphony works want to convey, and control the performance of the orchestra. Conducting can create a good playing atmosphere, closely connecting various stages of performance, producing good music.
