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.
