Abstract

This paper, Part 1 of the same study, discusses the influence of corporal gesture on the sensations of continuity, suspension and conclusion of a percussion musical excerpt from a descriptive statistical analysis data obtained on a specific experiment. From the complex relationship between the percussionist and musical text displayed largely on percussion productions, we seek to understand how far the motion body could be a supportive agent in the process of transmission of specific feelings about the music performed in a percussive performance. The complexity of this experimental process forced us to divide the results into two articles. This work comes from the 1st part of publishing data acquired since the experiment exposed here also suffered a factorial analysis of correspondences, can be found in the subsequent Article from this one.
