Groove is often called “the feel of the music” (Roholt 2014; Iyer 2002; Pressing 2002). A track with a groove is liable to compel us to tap our toes in time with the rhythm or to dance along, even if this is despite our better judgement.

One popular theory of groove posits the musical quality as “the feel of the music” that is constituted by the collected effects of various forms of musical nuance (especially with regards to microtiming).

Nov 11, 2021 · Nuance is the meaning given to a musical passage by the performer. It is expressed differently by each musician. But what does nuance really mean?
