Expressive Articulation for Synthetic Music Performances
نویسندگان
چکیده
As one of the main expressive feature in music, articulation affects a wide range of tone attributes. Based on experimental recordings we analyzed human articulation in the late Baroque style. The results are useful for both the understanding of historically informed performance practices and further progress in synthetic performance generation. This paper reports of our findings and the implementation in a performance system. Because of its flexibility and universality the system allows more than Baroque articulation.

From Mozart to MIDI: A Rule System for Expressive Articulation
The propriety of articulation, especially of notes that lack annotations, is influenced by the origin of the particular music. This paper presents a rule system for articulation derived from late Baroque and early Classic treatises on performance. Expressive articulation, in this respect, is understood as a combination of alterable tone features like duration, loudness, and timbre. The model di...
متن کاملImportance of Note-Level Control in Automatic Music Performance
A summary is presented of recent studies on articulation in piano music performance together with the applications they originated. Emphasis is given to legato and staccato articulation. Results from measurements of performances recorded with MIDIfied grand pianos are summarized. Some rules for the simulation of articulation are presented and their application in renderings of emotional express...
متن کاملArticulation Rules For Automatic Music Performance
Rules for legato, staccato, and repeated notes articulation in automatic piano performance are presented. These rules were obtained applying the analysis-by-measurement method to performances of Mozart piano sonatas on MIDIfied acoustic grand pianos. The effects produced by the rules vary with tempo indications, with expressive intentions and with musical context. The articulation rules are par...
متن کاملCUEX: An Algorithm for Automatic Extraction of Expressive Tone Parameters in Music Performance from Acoustic Signals
CUEX is an algorithm that from recordings of solo music performances extracts the tone parameters for tempo, sound level, articulation, onset velocity, spectrum, vibrato rate, and vibrato extent. The aim is to capture the expressive variations in a music performance, rather than to identify the musical notes played. The CUEX algorithm uses a combination of traditional methods to segment the aud...
متن کاملThe Conductor As Visual Guide: Gesture and Perception of Musical Content
Ensemble conductors are often described as embodying the music. Researchers have determined that expressive gestures affect viewers' perceptions of conducted ensemble performances. This effect may be due, in part, to conductor gesture delineating and amplifying specific expressive aspects of music performances. The purpose of the present study was to determine if conductor gesture affected obse...
