Original Kurzfassung:
In this paper we present preliminary work examining the relationship
between the formation of expectations and the realization of
musical performances, paying particular attention to expressive tempo
and dynamics. To compute features that re
ect what a listener is expecting
to hear, we employ a computational model of auditory expectation
called the Information Dynamics of Music model (IDyOM). We then
explore how well these expectancy features { when combined with score
descriptors using the Basis-Function modeling approach { can predict
expressive tempo and dynamics in a dataset of Mozart piano sonata
performances. Our results suggest that using expectancy features significantly
improves the predictions for tempo.
