Modeling piano performance: Physics and cognition of a virtual pianist
Richard Parncutt · 1997
The musical quality of computer-generated performances of piano scores might be improved by incorporating a physical model of the pianist’s body as it interacts with the instrument. Issues considered include the various aspects of musical structure (as conceived by a virtual pianist) that interact with expression, and the expressive function and algorithmic determination of fingering (as used by a virtual pianist).
