Gerhard Widmer on Expressive Music Performance, the Boesendorfer CEUS, and a MIDI Theremin
AI & Music researcher Gerhard Widmer talks about his computer-based research on expressive piano performance, the role of the Boesendorfer computer-monitored concert grand piano CEUS in this process, and then controls (tempo and dynamics) of a Chopin performance on the Boesendorfer CEUS with his hand, using a MIDI Theremin as a control device. This video was filmed on the premises of the Boesendorfer piano company, Wiener Neustadt, Austria.
