Abstract

The Meaning of Rhythm in Émile Jaques-Dalcroze’s Conception of Music Pedagogy. The article deals with the concept of rhythm, particularly with the aspect of determining rhythm in the method of music education developed by the music pedagogue and composer Émile Jaques-Dalcroze. A general introduction to the definition of ‘rhythm’ is followed by the detailed explanation of Jaques-Dalcroze’s method, which is called ‘la rhythmique’ at the beginning and ‘rhythmics’ or ‘rhythmic and musical education’ later on. The central question is how Dalcroze used rhythm to develop his student’s musicality and how he implemented it in the development of their musical and artistic skills. With regard to the foundation of Dalcroze’s Academy for Music and Rhythm (‘Hellerau’) in Dresden, the article discusses the relevance and the influence of the rhythmic principle and of his method on other art forms. His cooperation with artists from architecture, theater and dance is demonstrated by the example ‘Hellerau’. The article concludes with a reflection on the principle of polarity, which is used in rhythmics derived from Jaques-Dalcroze in several therapeutical settings.
