| Abstract | This book helps musicians gain a richer understanding of music through the use of the body and gesture. She asserts that expression of character and affect in music corresponds to expression of character and affect in physical gesture. She seeks to answer the question "What is vitality in music?" and to find answers that contribute to hearing and performing this core quality of music, and that can be integrated into daily practice. The approach presented in this book is to isolate and explore through movement such elements of music as melody, beat, and structure. |
