Abstract
In this empirical research, the author used the video data of actual rehearsals by a professional orchestra and focused on the interpersonal relation between conductor and concertmaster. The main result suggested that there might be a coherent margin of relative timing between conductorís body movement and concertmasterís bowing action to generate their artistic performance.
