Abstract
This paper describes a performance interface called iFP that enables players to play music as if he or she had the hands of the virtuoso. iFP is a tapping-style musical interface and refers to a pianist’s expressiveness described in a performance template. The paper describes the scheduler that allows a player to mix her/his own intension with the expressiveness in the performance template and the user interfaces. The results of a subjective study suggest that using the expression template and the tapping-style interface contribute to the subject’s joy of playing music. This result is also supported by a brain activation study that was done using near-infrared spectroscopy.
