Abstract

There seem to be strong links between gestural imagery and musical imagery, and it is suggested that gestural imagery can be instrumental in triggering and sustaining mental images of musical sound. Gestural images are seen as integral to most experiences of music, and several practical and theoretical musical disciplines could profit from focusing on these gestural images. Research in support of this is reviewed, and some topics for future research are presented.
