Welcome to Athens! Please accept my warmest welcome to the Seventeenth International Conference of Association Répertoire International d’Iconographie Musicale (RIdIM), co-organised with the Music Library of Greece “Lilian Voudouri” of The Friends of Music Society, Athens. This year’s Conference is dedicated to the visual representation of music and dance across periods and cultures. The Call for Papers attracted a large number of scholars from all over the world, and the selection from amongst the huge amount of excellent proposals was hence a stimulating, but also challenging, task for the Programme Committee. The topical and methodological range of the fifty-plus papers that were selected, reflects not only the international scope of this Conference but also the diversity of research into the iconography of music and dance—two forms of human expression closely related, but most likely not so intimately as assumed in the early nineteenth-century interpretation of the waltz by Adolph Bernhard Marx1 as pointed out by Lawrence Zbikowski.2 The depth and breadth of the selected papers provide a framework for multi-fold and interdisciplinary discourse, as much as to promote the intellectual examination and exchange of topics related to music and dance in visual culture. Against this background, the Conference takes up a subject-matter that appeared on the academic horizon in the 1990s, particularly within ethnographic and anthropological research, but one that has only been marginally developed further in iconography research since that time.3 However, assuming that there is a relationship between music and dance—a notion that was strongly challenged by some twentieth-century productions and projects (as for instance by Jerome Robbins’s Move of 1959)—provides no answers to the questions regarding the nature, essence and quality of this relationship. Visual source material invites serious analysis of such and similar topics, and provides the basis for the critical reflection of the visual representation of music and dance, and its function in culture and society. In addition to ethnographic and anthropological perspectives, as well as approaches developed in multimedia research4 and visual culture studies,5 the most recent interest in this topic within cognitive musicology 5 may provide stimulating new views on the relationship between music and dance.6 I am very grateful to Stephanie Merakos, Head of the Music Library of Greece “Lilian Voudouri” of The Friends of Music Society, for the generous invitation to hold the Seventeenth International Conference of Association RIdIM in Athens, and for her commitment as Chair of the Local Organisation Committee to the realisation of it from the very first day, including all concerts and receptions that we will enjoy during this Conference. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Alexandros Charkiolakis, the Director of The Friends of Music Society, with whom I discussed the initial idea of organising a conference in Athens, while enjoying beers and watching the games of the UEFA European Championships 2016 in the white nights during the Intercongressional Symposium of the International Musicological Society in Stavanger, Norway. Alexandros was supportive from the first moment on, and kindly introduced me to Stephanie. 1 Adolph Bernhard Marx, Die Lehre von der musikalischen Komposition, praktisch theoretisch (Leipzig: Breitkopf & Härtel, 1837–38), vol. 2, 55. 2 Lawrence Zbikowski, “Music and Movement: A View from Cognitive Musicology”, in Bewegungen zwischen Hören und Sehen: Denkbewegungen über Bewegungskünste, ed.

Hence, I would like to extend my thanks to all members of the Programme Committee – Zdravko Blažeković, Theresa Buckland, Daniela Castaldo, Alexandros Charkiolakis, Richard Leppert, Isabelle Marchesin, Stephanie Merakos, José Antonio Robles Cahero, Cristina Santarelli, and Margaret Walker – as well as all members of the Local Organisation Committee: Vera Kriezi, Eleni Mitsiaki, Valia Vraka, and George Boumpous. My gratitude also goes to Debra Pring, the Executive Director of Association RIdIM, for having worked with endless enthusiasm through the huge variety of often challenging and energy-consuming tasks to which she was exposed during the organisation of this Conference. I extend my deepest gratitude to Alexandra Goulaki Voutira, and Richard D. Leppert for having accepted the invitation to deliver a keynote lecture. And last but not least, I am also very grateful to the Music Library of Greece “Lilian Voudouri”, The Friends of Music Society, Subways Music, and Hollitzer Wissenschaftsverlag, that have so kindly consented to support the Conference with staff, logistics, venue, and finances. Let me, dear Colleagues and Friends, finally wish you a successful Conference, varied papers and ideas, sparking lively and inspiring discussions. I am convinced that the keynotes and paper presentations will provide “food for thought,” and result in a Conference both academically inspiring, and socially enjoyable. Special and cordial greetings, Prof Dr Antonio Baldassarre President, Association RIdIM 7 Dr Stephanie Merakos Director Music Library of Greece Dear Colleagues, I am very happy to welcome you to Athens, and to the Music Library of Greece “Lilian Voudouri” of The Friends of Music Society, on the occasion of the 17th International Conference of Association Répertoire International d’Iconographie Musicale (RIdIM) on the topic of Music and Dance in Visual Culture. We are very excited to have so many prominent scholars amongst us on this occasion, and in particular for discussion on the subject matter of music, dance and visual culture, that is so relevant to Greek culture. As you all know, music and dance are interchangeable in Greek culture from ancient to modern times, so the theme of this Conference is of special interest to Greeks, and makes Athens the ideal venue for this event. Greek museums are full of artifacts that depict music and dance from all periods of Greek history. The Conference presentations take us to Europe, Australia, the Far East, Iran, the Americas, and of course Greece, whilst many papers deal with aesthetics and technical matters. This year, the Music Library of Greece “Lilian Voudouri” is celebrating its 20th anniversary. It was created under an initiative of the Friends of Music Society, and its goal is to serve as an important centre of study, and as a pool of information for music and the arts, that is capable of supporting a full programme of research and education. It holds a collection of 150,000 titles focusing on western music, alongside all types of Greek
