Description
Summary:The author discusses the affinity of dance and music through an analysis of George Balanchine and Igor Stravinsky's "Agon" (1957) and Mark Morris' "Falling Down Stairs" (1997) set to Johann Sebastian Bach's "3rd Suite for Cello." She examines the use of metaphor in talking about responses to dance and music, illuminating some of the potential for subtlety and depth in their relationship, and the corresponding insights into human experience that they may offer.
