Pianists use specific timing techniques like chord asynchronies, rubato, and overlaps to express musical ideas. These expressive timing patterns are rule-governed, translating musical thought into performance nuances.

Area of Science:

  • Music Cognition
  • Computational Musicology
  • Psychology of Music

Background:

  • Expressive timing is crucial for musical performance.
  • Understanding how pianists translate musical intentions into performance is key.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and analyze the expressive timing methods pianists use.
  • To investigate the rule-governed relationship between musical thought and performance actions.

Main Methods:

  • Experiment 1: Six pianists performed a musical excerpt on a computer-monitored keyboard, analyzing chord asynchronies, rubato, and overlaps.
  • Experiment 2: Pianists notated their musical intentions on a score while performing another excerpt.

Main Results:

  • Expressive timing patterns (chord asynchronies, rubato, overlaps) were strongest in experienced pianists.

  • Notated musical intentions correlated with observed performance timing methods.
  • These timing methods are consistently applied across different musical excerpts.

    • Conclusions:

    • Musical thought is mapped to musical action through identifiable, rule-governed expressive timing methods.
    • These rules allow for consistent yet varied interpretations in piano performance.
