Popis: | Expressive interpretation forms an important but complex aspect of music, in particular in certain forms of classical music. Modeling the relation between musical expression and structural aspects of the score being performed, is an ongoing line of research. Prior work has shown that some simple numerical descriptors of the score (capturing dynamics annotations and pitch) are effective for predicting expressive dynamics in classical piano performances. Nevertheless, the features have only been tested in a very simple linear regression model. In this work, we explore the potential of a non-linear model for predicting expressive dynamics. Using a set of descriptors that capture different types of structure in the musical score, we compare the predictive accuracies of linear and non-linear models. We show that, in addition to being (slightly) more accurate, non-linear models can better describe certain interactions between numerical descriptors than linear models. |
