Rehearsal

A rehearsal is a rehearsal immediately before a concert or performance. It should connect to the dress rehearsal (if it was several days ago) or prepare the musicians for the practical performance conditions such as acoustics or space available on site, for example on tours, immediately before the concert . This also includes recalling difficult transitions or passages. With rehearsals, activity, certain body parts necessary for making music such as the voice or lips and a musical sense of community are awakened.

If a rehearsal is announced, no intensive rehearsal is planned in order not to tire the performers before the concert or performance. The duration of the rehearsal is determined by the conductor according to the place of performance, the works to be performed and the difficult interplaying passages that should be brought to mind by the musicians and tried out on site.
