Description and Table of Contents

Description

As far as literature in English is concerned, this new addition to the DANCE AND MUSIC SERIES is the only book of its kind. It offers a biography of Jaques-Dalcroze, a survey of his principal compositions, an explanation and demonstration of his pedagogical works, his sensational ear training method, especially the landmark project rythmique (eurythmics - physical responses to rhythm and other musical elements). The author discusses musical life inSwitzerland, particularly the inimitable festivals, and shows how Jaques-Dalcroze's ideas served as a springboard in the development of modern dance and theatre, and in general education and therapy for the handicapped.
