Computer Music Journal, 27:1, pp. 47–58, Spring 2003 2003 Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In Mazzola and Zahorka (1994a), a general theory of performance transformations from a symbolic score space S to a corresponding physical space P was given. The transformation can be represented by performance vector fields that generalize the well-known hierarchies of tempo curves of a performance. This theory has been implemented as a module in the music research software RUBATO (Mazzola and Zahorka 1994b) and has been successfully applied to the performance of classical compositions. Stange-Elbe (1999) has performed Contrapunctus III of J. S. Bach’s Die Kunst der Fuge with RUBATO, and the results have been presented at the Diderot Conference on Mathematics and Music at IRCAM (Mazzola 2002c). The original theory dealt with the construction of a performance from a given score and a given performance field. In this article, we address the question of inverse performance (Mazzola 1995) and how expressive shaping can be extracted from a given performance. The problem can be split into two parts: first, the problem of matching symbolic and performance events, and second, the calculation of the performance field after matching has been performed. In previous literature, the matching problem has been extensively discussed (e.g., Dannenberg 1984; Vercoe 1984; Puckette and Lippe 1992; Heijink et al. 2000). The approach to calculation of the performance field and the visualization of the extracted expressive shaping are new and thus receive main focus throughout this article. EspressoRubette is a software module that realizes the theory given in this article. The module is able to process a performance (e.g., a MIDI recording) and visualize the calculated vector field in real time. We will discuss the structure of EspressoRubette and give the field interpolation and visualization principles. The article concludes with examples of visualization of performance fields.
