"The Embodiment of Dance and Rhythm in Music, featuring Bach/Busoni's Chaconne, Stravinsky's Petrushka, and Catarina Domenici's Rodopio”

Rhythm has a powerful role in shaping musical expression. Through examining three iconic works—Bach/Busoni’s Chaconne, Stravinsky’s Petrushka, and Catarina Domenici’s Rodopio—this lecture will explore how rhythm drives the emotional and kinesthetic experience of music. By analyzing these compositions and their historical contexts, we’ll uncover how rhythm creates tension, conveys movement, and bridges musical eras, offering us a deeper understanding of rhythm as a central element in performance and interpretation.
