We investigated effects of legato, staccato and pizzicato articulation styles on the perception of modulated tempos. Seventy-two music majors served as participants. Two solo violin excerpts were chosen with contrasting rhythmic rates and were recorded in all three articulation styles. Examples were presented to listeners in three conditions of tempo modulation: gradual increase, gradual decrea...

Two experiments investigated perceptual and emotional consequences of note articulation in music by examining the degree to which participants perceived notes be separated from each other a musical phrase. Seven-note piano melodies were synthesized with staccato (short decay) or legato (gradual/sustained decay). Experiment 1 (n = 64) addressed impact on melodic cohesion emotion expressed throug...

The significance of auditory and kinesthetic feedback to pitch control in singing was described in a previous report of this project for students at the beginning of their professional solo singer education.(1) As it seems reasonable to assume that pitch control can be improved by training, the same students were reinvestigated after 3 years of professional singing education. As in the previous...

A clever 'virtual reality' experiment reveals that specialized mechanosensory organs, rather than the eyes, orchestrate the high-performance staccato turns that characterize the flight behavior of a fly.

Klarnetin staccato tekniğini güçlendirme aşamaları eser çalışmalarıyla uygulanmıştır. Staccato geçişlerini hızlandıracak ritim ve nüans çalışmalarına yer verilmiştir. Çalışmanın en önemli amacı sadece çalışması değil parmak-dilin eş zamanlı uyumunun hassasiyeti üzerinde de durulmasıdır. çalışmalarını daha verimli hale getirmek için çalışmasının içinde etüt çalışmasına da Çalışmaların titizlikle...

The desire to play on one or a few keys of a keyboard, works for orchestra or chamber music which are far beyond the gestural capabilities of a pianist with his both hands is at the origin of this theory and its application in music. The study of a two-switch device driving a data file shows all the ways to trigger, maintain, halt an event, to synchronize it with another, or to have it overlap ...

Existing real-time garbage collectors are either unable to scale to large multiprocessors, or unable to meet hard real-time requirements even with specialized hardware support. These limitations are rapidly becoming unacceptable: hardware improvements have brought multi-gigabyte heaps and ubiquitous multi-core parallelism; applications have increasingly stringent real-time requirements; and non...

An accurate control of fundamental frequency is one of the essential demands in professional singing. This control relies on auditory and kinesthetic feedback. However, a loud accompaniment may mask the auditory feedback, leaving the singers to rely on kinesthetic feedback. The object of the present study was to estimate the significance of auditory and kinesthetic feedback to pitch control in ...
