Old question:
“If playing the right notes is not enough, what is it that musicians must bring to the music to bring the music to life in the most powerful and evocative ways — and how do we learn that?”
Dalcroze’s Novel answer:
By using the body as an instrument and expressing music through purposeful movement, we can develop a powerful experiential knowledge of musical concepts. By applying this knowledge to performance, reading, writing and listening, our music gains vitality.
