1 Dislocation is discussed in Philip's, RobertPerforming Music in the Age of Recording (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2004)Google Scholar. In a review of that book, Charles Rosen includes it in his list of endangered expressive devices: ‘various expressive devices once common in the early twentieth century have been almost outlawed: portamento (sliding from one note to another on a stringed instrument); playing the piano with the hands not quite together (Philip calls this dislocation); arpeggiating chords (not playing all the notes of the chord at the same time but one after another), and flexibility of tempo’.
