Haunting Waltz Music - Via Mardot

[tsb]

I just ran across this and probably no one has ever danced to it but it kind of feels like it stands and it has a really interesting creepy feeling to it. It seems to be a serenade by Franz Schubert and performed by Via Mardot and an accompanying pianist. Via Mardot it says on her channel that she does noir musical soundtrack music.

regardless of the way it's written, that particular rendition has IMO an overwhelming duplet feel such that i would recommend it as a waltz only to people who have one leg longer than the other. or perhaps likes to chant "not difficult" every measure to impose a 3 over 2 rhythm (which is what i was taught to use playing triplets with one hand and duplets with the other on piano). or maybe dance it like a hustle in which case "1" will always be on the same foot which would make line of dance an interesting concept.

and FWIW, some genres of music naturally syncopate/swing notes regardless of whether the notes may have been written as equal in duration - except when they don't - and different dances are typically associated with each rhythm. for example, blues is typically swung which would make it more popular for WCS while a blues-cha (as specified by the musicians performing it) stick with even eighth notes on beat four giving it more of a cha-cha feel for those who use those rhythms to influence their lyricism. but i do acknowledge that there are some dancers who train to do the movements and would be content dancing to a metronome as they really don't display much lyricism in their dancing. i didn't start dancing until my 30's so i'd already had decades of classical training in voice, violin, low brass & piano. but unlike most musicians who think about performing their craft as controlling small muscle groups - which hampers their ability to learn to dance IMO - i found dance to start with moving my core - plus i'd also had experience conducting (and i'd taken a few ballet classes to help with my fluidity) so there was already a connection between music and movement - just in the opposite direction; conducting uses movement to influence the emotional content of what's being performed and for me dance interprets the emotional content and prompts me to choose movements/phrasing as well as range of motion that reflect that content. unfortunately that also makes me picky about the music i dance to. i suspect that many who've heard me say: "i just don't like this song." in response to an invitation to dance thought that i was blowing them off.

that particular rendition.. i would recommend it as a waltz only to people who have one leg longer than the other...

But first and foremost, we're committed to high-end social dancing, right? We're not discussing the beginner's class here.

LOL not difficult and I were boon companions

i found dance to start with moving my core - plus i'd also had experience conducting (and i'd taken a few ballet classes to help with my fluidity) so there was already a connection between music and movement - just in the opposite direction; conducting uses movement to influence the emotional content of what's being performed and for me dance interprets the emotional content and prompts me to choose movements/phrasing as well as range of motion that reflect that content.

swoooooon this yes this
