This course surveys computational research in expressive music performance. Expressive performance is the manipulation of musical parameters such as tempo, loudness, and articulation so as to focus attention and facilitate parsing of musical features, and to create an emotional affect. The material will cover classical domain knowledge and empirical research in, and generative approaches to, expressive performance from contemporary literature in the field.
