Horn Playing as Movement

Like other metaphors, the Movement-metaphor is a multifaceted one. It illustrates the activity of horn playing, but also raises some interesting (philosophical) questions.

Logics

  • It is not about sports
  • It’s about dance
  • About gesture(s)
  • about “not” moving (Is a horn player moving while playing?)

Basic Problems

  • What is movement?
    • Is movement a sleep-walker-like response to the environmental stimuli?
  • Is a horn player moving? Or is it a static activity?
