The simulator will be put into use for studying the impact = of room acoustics on musicians playing, focusing on comparisons between = Baroque chamber music venues and classical period equivalents (Berlioz = time). The thesis work will contribute to the research and documentation = of pertinent venues, acoustic measurements of existing venues, and the = creation of ecologically valid geometrical acoustics models of some of = these venues. The thesis will include a series of perceptual studies = examining the impact of acoustic variations on playing, in the context = of historically informed performance methods.
