Abstract

We have developed a prototype music visualization system that shows the whole piece in a computer window, however long the piece and no matter how many parts it includes, as well as selected part. The selected part is presented using either performed data or staff notation. Users can better understand the performance expression by visualizing the performance with expressive cues of the qualitative music terms. Based on this understanding, users can exchange with other users their comments, recorded on visualized figures, through the Internet. Though still a prototype, we expect to make our system for one that will enable users to better understand a musical piece and its performance, especially for a cooperative performance.
