Articulation Rules For Automatic Music Performance
نویسنده
چکیده
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 part of the Director Musices system for automatic music performance. It has been demonstrated that proper setting of the articulation rules enables more realistic automatic performances that can also differ in emotional expression. These rules are also being applied in control models for sound synthesis algorithms.

Importance 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 کاملAutomatic Segmentation and Classification of Articulation in Monophonic Music
Automatic music transcription has attracted a great interest from computer scientists and musicians for more than thirty-five years. The process of transcription includes extraction of fundamental frequencies, and segmentation of the continuous audio signal by detecting onsets and offsets of sound events. In a following step, quantization of pitch and timing gives a symbolic representation of t...
متن کاملExtracting Expressive Tempo Curves from Music Recordings
Musicians give a piece of music their personal touch by continuously varying tempo, dynamics, and articulation. Instead of playing mechanically they speed up at some places and slow down at others in order to shape the piece of music. Similarly, they continuously change the sound intensity and stress certain notes. The automated analysis of different interpretations, also referred to as perform...
متن کاملAutomatic Orchestration for Automatic Composition
The automatic orchestration problem is that of assigning instruments or sounds to the notes of an unorchestrated score. This is related to, but distinct from, problems of automatic expressive interpretation. A simple algorithm is described that successfully orchestrates scores based on analysis of one musical structure – the “Z-chain.” One way for an autonomous system to compose is to initially...
متن کاملA prototype system for rule-based expressive modifications of audio recordings
A prototype system is described that aims to modify a musical recording in an expressive way using a set of performance rules controlling tempo, sound level and articulation. The audio signal is aligned with an enhanced score file containing performance rules information. A timefrequency transformation is applied, and the peaks in the spectrogram, representing the harmonics of each tone, are tr...
