Simon van Rysewyk has affirmed: "Mimicry refers to the tendency to adopt the behavioral expressions of interaction partners. According to Wittgenstein, mimicry typically occurs outside of conscious awareness, and without any intent to mimic or imitate". From a musical point of view, this idea developed in the field of the study of facial expression let us think that the act of playing together would means, for a musician, to interact not only with a piece of paper and an instrument in order to produce music. Musicians play together watching direct at their eyes, going together (or not) with their arms and feeling the breathing of the other. Every one of those physical and cognitive facts make the music happens. When I compose, I'm always aware of this "private musical language": I try to imagine the musicians behaviour on the scene, how their eyes move or how their body react to one section that I've written for them. For me, composing involves taking ahead this feeling of mimicry "outside of conscious awareness", quoting Wittgenstein.
