Towards Phrase Structure Reconstruction from Expressive Performance Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using a simple pattern finding approach, we investigate to what degree patterns found in the tempo and loudness curves measured from piano performances of a classical piece coincide with repeated musical structures in the score that was performed. We show that high frequency content in such curves is more useful for finding repetitions of musical structures than low frequency content. In some cases removing low frequency content even improves the accuracy of pattern finding.

Expressive Timing Facilitates the Neural Processing of Phrase Boundaries in Music: Evidence from Event-Related Potentials
The organization of sound into meaningful units is fundamental to the processing of auditory information such as speech and music. In expressive music performance, structural units or phrases may become particularly distinguishable through subtle timing variations highlighting musical phrase boundaries. As such, expressive timing may support the successful parsing of otherwise continuous musica...
متن کاملPlaying Mozart by Analogy: Learning Multi-level Timing and Dynamics Strategies
The paper describes basic research in the area of machine learning and musical expression. A first step towards automatic induction of multi-level models of expressive performance (currently only tempo and dynamics) from real performances by skilled pianists is presented. The goal is to learn to apply sensible tempo and dynamics ‘shapes’ at various levels of the hierarchical musical phrase stru...
متن کاملExpressive timing analysis in classical piano performance by mathematical model selection
Given a piece of music, the timing of each beat varies from performer to performer. The study of these small differences is known as expressive timing analysis. Research into expressive timing helps us to understand human perception of music and the production of enjoyable music. Classical piano music is one music style where it is possible to measure expressive timing and hence provides a prom...
متن کاملWhich resemblance is useful to predict phrase boundary rise labels for Japanese expressive text-to-speech synthesis, numerically-expressed stylistic or distribution-based semantic?
To establish Expressive Text-to-speech synthesis, current research studies both the processing of input text and the rendering of natural expressive speech. Focusing on the former as a front-end task in the production of synthetic speech, this paper investigates a novel feature for predicting phrase boundary tone labels which transcribe local fundamental frequency (F0) changes frequently appear...
متن کاملA Local Maximum Phrase Detection Method for Analyzing Phrasing Strategies in Expressive Performances
This paper proposes a Local Maximum Phrase Detection (LMPD) method for the analysis of phrasing strategies in expressive performances. The LMPD method systematically extracts a quantitative representation of phrasing strategy by equating the occurrence of a local maximum in the loudness curve with the occurrence of a phrase or sub-phrase. We further define mathematical descriptors for phrase st...
