 1-that invest libido mainly in the sound region: a commutator of libidinal energy into audible energy and vice versa; which implies to start with that quantities of energy are constantly used to circumscribe this region, on the body particularly…

 2-that in classical and baroque period in the West , has appended musical prostheses, instruments, to this partial body: an adjunction which required new investments onto certain parts of the body : the hands, the fingers of the pianist or the flutist, but also the arm-shoulder-chin complex of the violinist, the torso of the percussionist, the knees of the cellist and harpist; ….
