Software-Based Extraction of Objective Parameters from Music Performances (2008)
Abstract / truncated to 115 words
Different music performances of the same score may significantly differ from each other. It is obvious that not only the composer¢s work, the score, defines the listener¢s music experience, but that the music performance itself is an integral part of this experience. Music performers use the information contained in the score, but interpret, transform or add to this information. Four parameter classes can be used to describe a performance objectively: tempo and timing, loudness, timbre and pitch. Each class contains a multitude of individual parameters that are at the performers¢ disposal to generate a unique physical rendition of musical ideas. The extraction of such objective parameters is one of the difficulties in music performance research. ...
