The primary duties of the conductor are to interpret the score created by a composer in a manner which is reflective of the specific indications within that score, to set the tempo, to ensure correct entries by various members of the ensemble, and to "shape" the phrasing where appropriate. To convey their ideas and interpretation, conductors communicate with their musicians primarily through hand gestures, typically though not invariably with the aid of a baton, and may use other gestures or signals, such as eye contact with relevant performers.

CONT

Les principales tâches du chef d'orchestre sont de définir le tempo, de s'assurer des entrées correctes des différents membres de l'ensemble et de «modeler» le phrasé, le cas échéant. Pour transmettre leurs idées et l'interprétation, un chef communique avec ses musiciens, principalement à travers des gestes de la main, généralement, mais pas toujours, avec l'aide d'une baguette, et peut utiliser d'autres gestes ou signaux, tels que le contact des yeux avec les interprètes ou exécutants concernés.
