Research output: ThesisMaster's / Diploma thesis

Abstract

Computer supported performance analysis aims at musicians and musicologists investigating performance-related aspects of music. Since a key component of every supportive computer environment is the user interface, presentational and interactive aspects are of fundamental concern for the design and the implementation of a computer supported performance analysis system. In this thesis, an overview of music performance analysis, and of existing visual representations of musical performance is given. Moreover, well-known methods from Information Visualization (InfoVis) and User Interface Design (UID) are reviewed and its applications to the present problem space are discussed. Finally, a prototypical implementation of an extensible framework for visualization of expressive piano performance is reviewed, and a typical application scenario is described in a step-by-step fashion.
