Resumen
The study of body movement in musical performance has gained relevance in recent decades, especially in the search for a greater understanding of musical expressivity. This research aims to describe and classify the body movements employed by clarinetists during the performance of Francis Poulenc's Clarinet and piano Sonata, a complex work in terms of dynamic and tempo changes. Under a qualitative approach, a multiple case study was conducted with four clarinetists who had performed this sonata. Thirteen representative excerpts were selected from the three movements, which showed significant variations in tempo and dynamics. The results revealed six major and one minor body movements, the intensity and frequency of which varied among performers. These findings contribute to the understanding of how musicians use the body to convey musical expressivity, providing a contribution to current theories on the relationship between body and performance in classical music.
