However, gestural vocabularies vary depending on the instrument being played, due to its postural and technical specificities. The goals of this study were twofold: first, to create a gesture categorization system for saxophone players, and second, to analyse their gestural behavior across contrasting musical excerpts. A criteria-based observational analysis was conducted, considering the type and frequency of gestures identified in a database of 100 video and motion recordings. The categorization system, including 15 gesture types applicable to the case of saxophone playing, was further validated by two expert raters. A descriptive appendix is provided for the identification of each gesture type. Results revealed that: 1) knee and trunk flexion, feet elevation, mediolateral sway and flap are the most recurrent gestures among saxophone players; 2) energetic, fast-tempo excerpts lead to higher movement frequency; and 3) impulsive gestures (head nods) were idiosyncratic of the excerpt containing repeated accentuated notes. These results present a definition of the gestural behavior of saxophone players, which constitutes relevant knowledge for the development of future studies in the fields of injury prevention, body expression, or historically informed performanceCentro de Estudos de Sociologia e Estética Musical (CESEM - NOVA FCSH)RUNMoura, NádiaFonseca, PedroGraça, JorgeTrovão, PhilippeGoethel, MárcioVilas-Boas, João PauloSerra, Sofia2024-09-25T22:23:34Z2024-07-312024-07-31T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article20application/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/172389eng0305-7356PURE: 79397843https://doi.org/10.1177/03057356241257425info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2025-03-31T01:53:22Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/172389Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T18:54:21.472227Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
