Subject: [AUDITORY] Tolerance time interval for piano performance recognition From: Federico Simonetta <federico.simonetta@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2019 12:37:03 +0100 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>Dear list, I am a Ph.D. student in music informatics at the University of Milan. My pr= oject is about piano performance analysis and score-informed piano transcri= ption. I was wondering if someone here knows any study about one or more of the fo= llowing time tolerance intervals. I am interested in the threshold after wh= ich a human can recognize that in piano performances: =20 * two or more onsets are not synchronous * two onsets are in different timing positions in respect to the previous i= dentical note offset/onset * two or more offsets are not synchronous * two notes have different durations in monophonic/polyphonic environments I have found the following related paper, but it is rather old: E. F. Clarke, =E2=80=9CThe Perception of Expressive Timing in Music,=E2=80= =9D vol. 51, no. 1, pp. 2=E2=80=939, Jun. 1989. From this study, it seems that humans are able to recognize differences in = music performances even if time changes lasts only 20 ms. However, most of = the researches involving computational analysis of music performances (audi= o-to-score alignment and automatic music transcription), refer to the thres= hold of 50 ms as tolerance. I am wondering if, as of today, some more recent and in-depth research has = been carried on. Thank you very much to anyone's help!
