I studied the social and cultural environement of the courtisans of Louis XIV to understand the place of the body in the French society. After collecting elements about the body, I analyzed these ideas the physiotherapist Johanna Gutzwiller. My goal was to understand what attitude one should adopt towards these sources as a harpsichordist and teacher today.fr780 - Musik11 - Studentische Arbeit
