Farina used to do "Ode to Joy" in waltz time. Very natural. This all makes sense to me: the dulcimer with the open strings blends what the player does with what already is. Only music, of all the arts, calls itself muse-ic, in touch with the next and the other. Who knows what part of the circle we're on, and why bother to distinguish the dancer from the dance, as WBY asked.
