Émile Jaques-Dalcroze: Listening in Movement

Abstract

This article presents the observations of Émile Jaques-Dalcroze, based on his pedagogical practice, on the relationship between voice and body movement in the musical experience for the construction of attentive and creative listening, not only capable of analyzing and reproducing music, as an instrument of execution, but remaining sensitive between repetitions, weaving relationships with other experiences through rhythm, bringing together different references, expanding repertoires and deepening musical reception to interpret music in a meaningful way in the interpersonal space in which it takes place, whether for the musical performer, or for the listener.
