Sense in expressive music performance: Data acquisition, computational studies, and models

This chapter gives an introduction into basic strands of current research in expressive music performance. A special focus is given on the various methods to acquire performance data either during a performance (e.g., through computer-monitored instruments) or from audio recordings. We then overview the different computational approaches to formalise and model the various aspects in expressive music performance. Future challenges and open problems are tackled briefly at the end of this chapter.
