Local versus global processing of harmonic cadences in the solution of musical puzzles

1998

The structure of Western musical pieces is delineated by several kinds of cadence. Half cadences in the main key indicate temporary endings; authentic cadences in the main key indicate definitive endings. Authentic cadences in the dominant key are of cognitive interest, since they mark a definitive ending at a local level but a temporary ending at a global level. This study investigated the local versus global processing of these cadences. Participants were presented with sections of 16-bar minuets displayed on a computer screen in the form of a musical jigsaw puzzle. The sections consisted of either the first or the second half of the minuet (8 bars each). The first section ended with eith…

Exploring relationships between pianists’ body movements, their expressive intentions, and structural elements of the music

2011

Body movements during music performance have been found to be indicative of the performer’s musical intentionality, and contribute to an observer’s perception of expressive playing. This study investigates the effect of structural elements of the score, and the playing of different levels of expression on body movements during a piano performance. Pianists were required to play the same piece in four different performance conditions. Their movements were tracked by an optical motion capture system, and the comparisons that were made between specific parts of the body used, performance condition, and musical score locations were subsequently statistically examined. We found that the head an…

Practiced musical style shapes auditory skills

2012

Musicians' processing of sounds depends highly on instrument, performance practice, and level of expertise. Here, we measured the mismatch negativity (MMN), a preattentive brain response, to six types of musical feature change in musicians playing three distinct styles of music (classical, jazz, and rock/pop) and in nonmusicians using a novel, fast, and musical sounding multifeature MMN paradigm. We found MMN to all six deviants, showing that MMN paradigms can be adapted to resemble a musical context. Furthermore, we found that jazz musicians had larger MMN amplitude than all other experimental groups across all sound features, indicating greater overall sensitivity to auditory outliers. Fu…

La pluralità dei sistemi musicali e le origini della musica (parte II)

2022

Il testo tratta la nascita degli interessi scientifici verso le tradizioni musicali extraoccidentali grazie alla nuova disciplina denominata "musicologia comparata" e agli studi etno-antropologici di orientamento evoluzionista e diffusionista. In questo contesto di studio viene dato particolare rilievo alle ipotesi riguardanti le origini della musica, che vengono sinteticamente ripercorse e valutate. The text deals with the birth of scientific interests towards extra-western musical traditions thanks to the new discipline called "comparative musicology" and to ethno-anthropological studies of evolutionist and diffusionist orientation.

Personality and music preferences: the influence of personality traits on preferences regarding musical elements.

2005

The purpose of this scientific study was to determine how personality traits, as classified by Cattell, influence preferences regarding musical elements. The subject group consisted of 145 students, male and female, chosen at random from different Polish universities. For the purpose of determining their personality traits the participants completed the 16PF Questionnaire (Cattell, Saunders, & Stice, 1957; Russel & Karol, 1993), in its Polish adaptation by Choynowski (Nowakowska, 1970). The participants' musical preferences were determined by their completing a Questionnaire of Musical Preferences (specifically created for the purposes of this research), in which respondents indicated their…

Ermeneutica delle dissonanze

2013

Uno degli obiettivi più urgenti della ricerca architettonica consiste nella comprensione dei luoghi della contemporaneità. La molteplicità e la complessità che caratterizzano il paesaggio attuale impongono nuove chiavi di lettura e nuove strategie capaci di orientare lo sguardo dell’architetto. Bisogna cogliere la modernità del racconto che i luoghi suggeriscono e concepire i contenuti della narrazione all’interno della dialettica intessuta tra descrizione e progetto. Così come la composizione a scala architettonica si sostanzia e si qualifica dalla intersezione di figure e forme e dal sincretismo dei significati dello spazio, allo stesso modo, i contenuti di una composizione a scala territ…

Una ricerca tra architettura e musica. La composizione nelle teorie seriali

2013

Nella percezione cognitiva umana l'ascolto di un brano musicale o l'esperienza spaziale dell'architettura hanno la stessa capacita di divenire immagini, idee, ricordi o memoria. La questione sulla quale sovente ci si interroga è se questa appurata "conseguenza comune" discerne da una verificata "causa comune" o se, in altri termini, esiste un'istanza che lega così strettamente la percezione di un suono e di un'architettura. Architettura e musica trovano entrambe la loro genesi nel medesimo, sublime, atto: il "comporre". Atto di "creazione" di opere nuove, certo, ma anche atto di "indagine" del complesso sistema di relazioni che strutturano i rapporti sia tra gli oggetti semplici dell’opera …
