Leo Tolstoy’s and Joseph Conrad’s Relation to Music
2017
It is important to stress that Tolstoy’s and Conrad’s texts are to be understood to include not only literary, and thus verbal, texts but also elements of other media, such as music, theatre and visual arts. It should be noted that for Conrad music was also one of the arts that he greatly appreciated. Though Conrad’s main concern was to make us “see,” he was also concerned with making us “hear.” The use of music to accompany sexual desire, frustration and violence is a technique often used by the writer. Likewise, music had an enormous infl uence on Tolstoy. He was fascinated with its power, just as with the power of sexuality, beauty and war. His favourite composer was Chopin, but he also …
On listening to atonal variants of two Piano Sonatas by Beethoven
2009
International audience; We investigated the contribution of tonal relationships to the perception of musical ideas and to the feelings of "arousal." Two excerpts of piano sonatas by Beethoven and two atonal variants were used as experimental stimuli. This manipulation destroyed the tonal relationships but preserved both the local and global temporal organization (rhythm and formal). Listeners were asked to indicate the onset of musical ideas, to estimate the arousing properties of the music in a continuous response task, and to rate the similarity of the pieces.

Hetkinen! Ei kai se vain ollut Minuuttivalssi? : pianistien nuottikuvasta tekemät nopeat päätelmät
2016
Tässä maisterintutkielmassa selvitettiin, millaisia havaintoja eksperttitason pianistit pystyvät tekemään 500 ms:n aikana nuottikuvasta. Aineiston keruuta varten suunniteltiin nuotinlukukoe, jossa koehenkilöille esitettiin yhteensä yhdeksän kolmen rivin mittaista katkelmaa kolmelta eri tyylikaudelta (barokki, klassismi ja romantiikka) peräisin olevista pianoteoksista. Jokaisen näytteen jälkeen koehenkilöt saivat kuvailla omin sanoin tekemiään havaintoja. Lisäksi he esittivät arvion kunkin teoksen edustamasta tyylikaudesta. Kokeeseen osallistui 25 eksperttitason pianistia, joista 4 henkilöä oli suorittanut musiikin ylemmän korkea-koulututkinnon, 11 alemman korkeakoulututkinnon, 8 opiskeli pa…
