Therefore, when studying a musical instrument,
the task is to disengage ourselves from the all-too-normal assumption of a “thing body”
and to constitute instead the “swing body”, the one that dances, flows moves freely, fluidly, flexibly, like swing music
(Elisabeth Behnke)
“Well, you know, rhythm must be felt as a dance, not calculated....
I think music is rooted in instinct for rhythmic bodily movement, even more than the instinct to search for beautiful sounds.”
(Charles Dutoit)
