That seems to be a special disease among some players nowadays, as I do not think it can be said to improve the musical results. I wonder if it has something to do with the environment degradation?!

We have a VERY good clarinet player in our local symphony who is at least TWICE that active. It's been said that the space of a chair has to be left open on either side of her. I honestly don't know how she manages to keep her mouth on the horn!

Do you think Karl King would be proud?

Question is if she is that good thanks to the moving around or practising, to play when moving? And if she would sound worse if she do not take up that space?!

Isn't excessive moving just a matter of forcing ones rhythm/phrasing upon ones fellow musicians?

Hmm, then the moving person might move with a timing corresponding to the music, but that is not always the case...

I heard that once when Anders Rachlew teached a piano student he suddenly opened the window, it was very cold in the winter. The student stopped playing and asked why he opened the window. Oh, it is just to give you some more space, Rachlew said. That student learned the lesson and stopped moving when playing...
