Re: studies on perception of expressive features in music performance



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

Dear List,

For a revision of my doctoral research, I am looking for references
of studies on perception of expressive features in music
performance. 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
