Aplausos! Para que precisa ele das suas cordas vocais afinal. A comunicação faz-se com o corpo – primeira aula do curso de maestro! Volta-se para a orquestra. Fez-se silêncio Que belo é o silêncio antes do início de uma peça. Todos na orquestra de olhos postos nele, o público estará mais interessado em perceber de onde vem um trecho da obra que mais lhe interesse, irão procurar o obué, a flauta, identificar o som do xilofone, deliciar-se com a área do violino E à sua ordem a música começa! Just as he was about to address the assembled guests, he lost his voice. He looked around in a momentary panic. No one had noticed yet. Could there be a way out? He smiled. Applause rang through the hall, echoing, but gradually fading. Soon it would be his turn. Calm down! After all, you're just the conductor! No one will notice if you manage to disguise it. Take a deep breath and pick up the baton.
The lights in the audience dim. A defiant smile for the audience.
Let's play, he thought, if it worked before with my voice, it will work now without it! With the baton in his right hand, his left hand open, palm facing upward, he incites the voices of the audience. They understand instantly, after all, they are an audience educated in the arts of music, and even if not in classical, everyone has heard Freddy Mercury's concert! By modulating the intensity with his left hand and the tone with his right, he makes the people speak! Applause! Who needs vocal cords, after all? Communication is done with the body — the first lesson in the conductor’s course!
