This Time with Feeling: Learning Expressive Musical Performance
Music generation has generally been focused on either creating scores or interpreting them. We discuss differences between these two problems and propose that, in fact, it may be valuable to work in the space of direct $\it performance$ generation: jointly predicting the notes $\it and$ $\it also$ their expressive timing and dynamics. We consider the significance and qualities of the data set needed for this. Having identified both a problem domain and characteristics of an appropriate data set, we show an LSTM-based recurrent network model that subjectively performs quite well on this task. Critically, we provide generated examples. We also include feedback from professional composers and musicians about some of these examples.

Body Maps for Feeling of Creativity in Musical Chord Progression
This study investigates how musical stimuli evoke feelings of creativity through predictive mechanisms, while also examining the role of interoceptive bodily sensations, particularly those linked to the heart and stomach…
Neural Translation of Musical Style
Music is an expressive form of communication often used to convey emotion in scenarios where "words are not enough". Part of this information lies in the musical composition where well-defined language exists. However, a…
TranslationPerTok: Expressive Encoding and Modeling of Symbolic Musical Ideas and Variations
We introduce Cadenza, a new multi-stage generative framework for predicting expressive variations of symbolic musical ideas as well as unconditional generations. To accomplish this we propose a novel MIDI encoding method…
DecoderExploring Classical Piano Performance Generation with Expressive Music Variational AutoEncoder
The creativity of classical music arises not only from composers who craft the musical sheets but also from performers who interpret the static notations with expressive nuances. This paper addresses the challenge of gen…
Automatic Estimation of Singing Voice Musical Dynamics
Musical dynamics form a core part of expressive singing voice performances. However, automatic analysis of musical dynamics for singing voice has received limited attention partly due to the scarcity of suitable datasets…
