"The AHRC Research Centre for the History and Analysis of Recorded Music (CHARM) was established in 2004 at Royal Holloway, University of London, in partnership with King's College London and the University of Sheffield. Its mission is to promote the study of recordings within musicology, and its portfolio of activities include a project on recordings of Chopin's mazurkas. We have to date built up an archive of over 1500 recordings of individual mazurkas, including nearly 30 complete sets, and the purpose of the project is to devise computational methods for extracting and analysing musically significant information from recordings. Our focus is principally on timing and dynamic information, and on this basis we hope to draw conclusions regarding, for example, the discovery of historical trends in Chopin performance and the characterisation of different national styles of playing. But as will become clear, other kinds of conclusion can also be drawn from the techniques we have developed. ..." _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
