 Re: Why do Classical musicians look so miserable?

Simon Rattle commonly looks quite joyful, except when the music dictates otherwise; a large grin while delivering the final hammer-blow of fate at the end of Mahler 6 would probably be rather undesirable. I'm all for moving while playing, up to the point where it becomes audible; beats in sustained notes, or swelling and diminishing because of one's movement rather than because the musical line demands it seems more or less like self-indulgence. Our primary job is to cause the listeners to feel the joy (or despair, or whatever the music is intended to convey); it's hard to do that if we don't feel it ourselves, but it's still good to remember where the emphasis should be placed.
