The music is already written down the orchestra play what’s written, so what difference does the conductor make apart from the tempo?
In: Other
As silly as it sounds, its quite simply the speed of light.
The conductor can indicate the changes in mood, speed, tempo, and make microadjustments that the musicians can recognize *and have that information telegraphed to the musicians* by physically standing there, being seen. Seeing is faster than hearing and for a high level orchestra, even the smallest delay in audio recognition leads to an enormous mess.
