This paper tests two hypotheses: (1) the normalized Pairwise Variability Index (nPVI) values computed on the basis of recorded performances may be higher than the nPVI values computed for the same works as musical scores, and (2) the musical nPVI values for different composers may vary substantially within one culture even within a short time-span. In Study 1, samples from the vocal works of four Estonian composers, Artur Kapp (1878-1952), Mart Saar (1882-1963), Eduard Oja (1905-1950) and Eduard Tubin (1905-1982) were used for calculation of nPVI on the basis of both scores and performances. nPVI values for performed music were higher than those for scores but the differences were rarely statistically significant. In Study 2, larger corpora of scores by three Estonian composers: Saar, Tubin, and Veljo Tormis (born 1930) were analyzed. Songs by Tormis had significantly lower nPVI values than those by Saar and Tubin. Our results imply that calculation of nPVI values in music may rely either on a score or on a performance, the results being not significantly different from each other. The results also show that there may be significant differences in rhythmic contrast between the works of composers from one culture created only a few decades apart, and that nPVI values may not only increase but also decrease for compositions created later in time.

A cultural comparison of mindfulness and student performance : Evidence from university students in five countries
Sumell, Albert J.; Chiang, Eric P.; Koch, Steven; Mangeloja, Esa; Sun, Jin; Wu, Jennifer Pédussel (Elsevier BV, 2021)Societal and cultural norms are important in shaping how individuals live, study, and work. Of particular interest in recent research is the role of mindfulness, defined as the ability to focus on the present moment, and ... -
Melodic and Rhythmic Contrasts in Emotional Speech and Music
Quinto, Lena; Thompson, William Forde; Keating, Felicity Louise (University of Jyväskylä, Department of Music, 2013)Many cues convey emotion similarly in speech and music. Researchers have established that acoustic cues such as pitch height, tempo, and intensity carry important emotional information in both domains. In this investigation, ... -
Daily rhythms of young children in the 24/7 economy : A comparison of children in day care and day and night care
Sevón, Eija; Rönkä, Anna; Räikkönen, Eija; Laitinen, Niina (Sage, 2017)The study explored temporal variation in children’s moods and compared children in regular day care with those in day and night care in Finland. To examine variation in children’s experiences, a mobile diary was used. The ... -
Spatial variability of muscle activity during human walking: The effects of different EMG normalization approaches
Cronin, Neil; Kumpulainen, Sami; Joutjärvi, Toni; Finni Juutinen, Taija; Piitulainen, Harri (Pergamon; International Brain Research Organization, 2015)Human leg muscles are often activated inhomogeneously, e.g. in standing. This may also occur in complex tasks like walking. Thus, bipolar surface electromyography (sEMG) may not accurately represent whole muscle activity. ... -
