Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm EMOTIONAL COLOURING IN AUTOMATIC PIANO MUSIC PERFORMANCE An important contribution in music performance is given by the emotional component, often marked in the score by the composer with Italian words, such as Con fuoco, Tenero, Vivace, Brillante. From studies in music psychology it emerges that musicians use particular acoustic cues when performing the same score with different emotional intentions and that listeners use the same set of cues for decoding these emotions. Mr. Bresin will illustrate recent results in the analysis/synthesis of expressive piano music performance, and the possibility to obtain musical and emotionally different performances of the same score by "hyper-articulating" the performance of the score itself using the Director Musices (DM) program. DM is a software tool for automatic performance of music that has been developed in the Music Acoustics Group at the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm.
