De l'interprète à l'auditeur: une analyse acoustique et perceptive du timbre musical
TOR / Analysis / Recommended External Content
Abstract
“Discovering the acoustical parameters responsible for musical expression is of fundamental interest to improve our understanding of musical perception, and finds numerous applications in sound synthesis. Musical interpretation is an act during which the performer traduces the notational signal from the composer while involving his/her own judgement. If many studies on musical interpretation deal with the role of timing, dynamics or pitch, rather few focus on the one of timbre. Nevertheless, this perceptual attribute referring to both the identity of the sound source and the sound quality, seems to be an essential musical parameter. The goal of this work, based on an analysis-synthesis approach, is to better understand the role of timbre in musical interpretation.”
