Abstract

The analysis of expressive performance, an important research topic in Computer Music, is almost exclusively devoted to the study of western classical piano music. Instruments like the acoustic guitar and styles like Bossa Nova and Samba have almost never been studied, despite their harmonic and rhythmic richness. This paper describes some experimental results obtained with the extraction of rhythmic patterns from the guitar accompaniment of Bossa Nova songs. It also discuss the relevance of such experiments, as well as the importance of the computer techniques used in them, to the music and musical culture in general.
