From Mozart to MIDI: A Rule System for Expressive Articulation
نویسنده
چکیده
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 differentiates global characteristics and local particularities, provides a general framework for human-like music performances, and, therefore, serves as a basis for further and more complex rule systems.

The ACCompanion v0.1: An Expressive Accompaniment System
In this paper we present a preliminary version of the ACCompanion, an expressive accompaniment system for MIDI input. The system uses a probabilistic monophonic score follower to track the position of the soloist in the score, and a linear Gaussian model to compute tempo updates. The expressiveness of the system is powered by the Basis-Mixer, a state-of-the-art computational model of expressive...
متن کاملYQX Plays Chopin
A computer program is to play two piano pieces that it has never seen before in an “expressive” way (that is, by shaping tempo, timing, dynamics, and articulation in such a way that the performances sound “musical” or “human”). The two pieces were composed specifically for the occasion by Professor N.N. One is in the style of nocturnes by Frederic Chopin, the other is in a style resembling Moza...
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...

In this paper a system that is designed to extract the musical score from a MIDI performance is described. The proposed system comprises of a number of modules that perform the following tasks: identification of elementary musical objects, calculation of accent (salience) of musical events, beat induction, beat tracking, onset quantisation, streaming, duration quantisation and pitch spelling.

متن کاملIndividuality in harpsichord performance: disentangling performer- and piece-specific influences on interpretive choices
Although a growing body of research has examined issues related to individuality in music performance, few studies have attempted to quantify markers of individuality that transcend pieces and musical styles. This study aims to identify such meta-markers by discriminating between influences linked to specific pieces or interpretive goals and performer-specific playing styles, using two compleme...
