Style Transfer of Musical Performance Expression Using Note Classification Based on the Implication-Realization Model

Published:21 December 2023Publication History

ABSTRACT

In recent years, the style transfer is being studied in the field of AI. It extracts a style from one data set and applies to another data set. This technique is actively studied mainly in computer vision. It is also being studied in music and speech processing with many deep learning methods. However, no research focused on changes in performance expression of music. Performance expression of music refers to the player's artistic interpretation of a piece of music, the changes in performance, and the techniques used to achieve these changes. Changes in performance are represented by slow and fast beats, changes in strength and weakness. In this study, as a part of the study of analysis and creation of performance expression models of music, the image style transfer method is applied to musical expression. In addition, in order to analyze the relationship between musical structure and musical expression, the implication-realization model of music theory is used to extract the structure of music to improve the performance of style transfer. The analysis result shows that the I-R model captures the feature of musical expression well, and moreover, the style transfer method is shown to be useful for analyzing performance expression of music. It will lead to the study of music performance expression style extraction and will contribute to the analysis and creation of performance expression models of music.
