The physics and art of expressive performance on wind instruments

这个项目旨在了解音乐家如何创作出美丽、富有表现力的短语的非线性物理原理。优雅、富有表现力的演奏不仅仅是正确的音符。使用该团队独有的技术，我们将更深入地了解呼吸压力，口腔几何形状和力量，舌头动作和手指动作如何相互作用，以在管乐器上传达音乐短语的表达。结果将是理解不同的控制参数如何在物理层上相互作用，以及如何将这种表达传达给听众。理解专业演奏者无意识地进行的互动对音乐学习和教学有很大的好处。

This project aims to understand the non-linear physics underlying how musicians produce beautiful, expressive phrases. Elegant, expressive playing is much more than just the right notes. Using techniques unique to this team, we will give a deeper understanding of how breath pressure, mouth geometry and forces, tongue action and finger motions interact to communicate expression in musical phrases on a wind instrument. The outcome will be the understanding of how varying control parameters interact at the physical level and how this communicates expression to listeners. Understanding interactions that expert players perform unconsciously will have significant benefits to music learning and teaching.
