Abstract

We present a machine–learning model for predicting the performance dynamics in melodic motifs from classical pieces based on musically–meaningful features calculated from score–like symbolic representation. This model is designed to be capable of providing expressive directions to musicians within tools for expressive performance practice, and for that reason, in contrast with previous research, all modeling is done on a phrase level rather than note level. Results show the model is powerful but struggles with the generalization of predictions. The robustness of the chosen summarized representation of dynamics makes its application possible even in cases of low accuracy.
