Document Summary
Conveying musical structure: melody vs. accompaniment segregated by timing dynamics. Gestalt similarity melody typically anticipates slightly to the accompaniment by ~ 20 msec in expressive piano playing (palmer 1989) Conveying phrase structure: expressive timing performers naturally slow down at the ends of phrases. Todd (1992) found that this e ect was greater for structurally important phrases. --related to movement related to motor planning ? (performer slows at boundary to plan next phrase) speech patterns? (slow @ end of phrases) Sloboda (1976) sight-read classical pieces that contained deliberate errors tended to correct errors without realizing easier to sight-read (& memorize) music that follows the rules of a familiar style. Palmer & pfordresher (2003) look @ pianists erros substitution errors: where note gets played in wrong place. Ndings: tend to substitute note from nearby location tend to substitute note from similar metrical position strong --> strong weak ---> weak. Musical talent emphasis on talent underplay the role of learning & practice.
