The Influence of Musical Context on Tempo Rubato Timmers, Ashley, Desain, Heijink

What is Tempo Rubato? Performance = Composition + Expression + Instrument  Tempo Rubato : “Stolen time” is the variations in the timing of onsets of notes.  Tempo changes occur in relation to phrase structure.  “ notes inegales”

Tempo Rubato Relation between musical structure and tempo changes :- Modulations clarifying metrical structure, harmonic structure and phrase final lengthening. Tempo Rubato reflects hierarchic depth of a syntactic unit by the amount of slowing at the boundary. Sundberg’s model of harmonic distance to the tonic.

Melody : Variations on an original Theme (Op 21, No 1) – Brahms. Melody performed by 3 pianists in different settings: 1. Melody without bar-lines. 2. Melody with bar-lines. 3. Counter-melody. 4. Melody with the Counter-melody. 5. Melody with block chords. 6. Theme.

Melody : Variations on an original Theme (Op 21, No 1) – Brahms

Mean tempo(BPM) per performer per condition Condition 1 Condition 2 Condition 4 Condition 5 Condition 6 Subject Subject Subject

Analysis & Observations Performance-Score matching. Measure variations in IOI as an indication of Tempo Rubato. Correlation between IOI s of repeated performance > correlation between IOI s of melody in the 6 conditions. Change in timing distribution in the melody with change in context.

Diversity of Musical Structure

Other Factors Affecting tempo Rubato Level of difficulty of performing the musical piece. ( theme vs melody alone) Area of difficult chords. Tempo selected by performer. Complexity of musical composition.

Shortcomings &Future Work Influence of each performer is large; affects correlation. Analysis of musical factors influencing diversity and extent of tempo rubato need to be tested. Study the constraints on expressive performance.
