Modeling piano performance: Physics and cognition of a virtual pianist
نویسنده
چکیده
The musical quality of computer-generated performances of piano scores might be improved by incorporating a physical model of the pianist’s body as it interacts with the instrument. Issues considered include the various aspects of musical structure (as conceived by a virtual pianist) that interact with expression, and the expressive function and algorithmic determination of fingering (as used by a virtual pianist).

Conjuring the Recorded Pianist: A New Medium to Experience Musical Performance
The body channels rich layers of information when playing music, from intricate manipulations of the instrument to vivid personifications of expression. But when music is captured and replayed across distance and time, the performer’s body is too often trapped behind a small screen or absent entirely. This paper introduces MirrorFugue III, an interface to experience recorded piano performance t...
متن کاملPiano Playing: A Model of Sight-Reading and Rhythmic Timing
Musical performance involves both complex multitasking and, due to its rhythmic nature, strong interdependence among its various subtasks and temporal perception. We have developed a model of piano playing that integrates timing, playing, and sight-reading and demonstrates the relationship between these concurrent tasks. The model relies on an existing model of temporal perception to keep an ac...
متن کاملPianist Motion Capture with the Kinect Depth Camera
Sensing pianist movements is useful for various applications fields such as electronic music, music performance research, musician medicine, and piano pedagogy. This paper contributes an unobtrusive, markerless method to capture pianist movements based on depth sensing. The method was realized using the Kinect depth camera and evaluated in comparison with 2D marker tracking.
متن کاملA laboratory investigation on the potential of computational intelligence approaches to estimate the discharge coefficient of piano key weir
The piano key weir (PKW) is a type of nonlinear control structure that can be used to increase unit discharge over linear overflow weir geometries, particularly when the weir footprint area is restricted To predict the outflow passing over a piano key weir, the discharge coefficient in the general equation of weir needs to be known. This paper presents the results of laboratory model testing of...
متن کاملA Jazz Session System for Interplay Among All Players - VirJa Session (Virtual Jazz Session System)
This paper presents a jazz session system in which each player is independent and can interplay with all other players. In most previous systems, computer players only reacted to human player’s performance with a fixed leader-follower relationship. Our system enables computer players to listen to other computer players’ performances as well as human’s performance and to interact with each other...
