Dear Ju-Lee: I've published more than one study dealing with perception of expressive timing, and some of these also deal with perception of expressive dynamics. The references are listed below. I'll also try to compile a list of studies by other authors for you, which I'll send soon. Best, Bruno Repp, B. H. (1992).

By expressive features of music performance, I mean timing, loudness, portamento and vibrato etc. I have found articles on timing perception by Bruno Repp (1998) in Journal of Experimental Psychology: human Perception and Performance and another by Eric Clarke (1989) in Psychological research, but I haven’t had much luck in finding articles about loudness perception of expressive music performance and also of portamento / vibrato perception. If you know any relevant studies that investigate loudness perception of expressive music performance and also of portamento / vibrato perception, could you kindly point out to me? Many thanks for your help in advance. Ju-Lee -- Bruno H.
