Score and Performace Alignment
Main Contributors: Taegyun Kwon, Dasaem Jeong, and Jiyun Park
In classifical piano music, pianists play a piece of music with different styles and interpretations. This topic explores machine learning methods to extract performance information such as note onset, duration and velocity from piano music recordings and analyzes different nuances among pianists.
Audio-to-Score Alignment
In classifical piano music, music scores are usually available on the player's side. Aligning the music score with different renditions of performances allows us to compare different play styles in terms of tempo, dynamics, phrasing and articulation. We proposed a method for the audio-to-score alignment using a polyphonic piano transcription algorithm, and also designed a web-based visualization system to intuitively show different renditions of the same piano piece.
