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.

Some vantage indexing approaches for rhythmic and melodic search
Typke, R.; Walczak-Typke, A. C. (2009)In this paper, we discuss several improvements and approaches to musical content-based search that utilize the vantage indexing technique. We show how one can build an optimum vantage index for a variant of the Earth Mover ... -

Ruotsalainen, Jaana; Carlson, Emily; Erkkilä, Jaakko (Routledge, 2022)Introduction: This article explores the use of music and multisensory stimuli in the construction of compensatory neural networks for motoric functioning in a patient recovering from cerebellar strokes (CS). This study ... -
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, ... -
Musical character and the performance and perception of dotting, articulation and tempo in 34 recordings of Variation 7 from J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations(BWV 988)
Fabian, Dorottya; Schubert, Emery (2008)The performance of dotted rhythms has received considerable scholarly attention in the recent past. Historical musicologists mostly examined it in the context of baroque performance practice while music psychologists ...
