Abstract

Musical expression of piano performances by some distinguished pianists has been analyzed by the authors. In the analysis, the tonal tension and attraction models have been used, those are introduced in the literature of the generative theory of tonal music named “Tonal Pitch Spaces” by F. Lerdal. From the analysis, some specific features of their musical expression have been obtained. In this article, performances by “unnamed” pianists are analyzed in the same models and compared them to those by the distinguished pianists. By the analyses, the results are obtained, e.g. the difference between the musical expression by the distinguished pianists and that by unnamed pianists is very definite.
