Part of this information lies in the\nmusical composition where well-defined language exists. However, a significant\namount of information is added during a performance as the musician interprets\nthe composition. The performer injects expressiveness into the written score\nthrough variations of different musical properties such as dynamics and tempo.\nIn this paper, we describe a model that can learn to perform sheet music. Our\nresearch concludes that the generated performances are indistinguishable from a\nhuman performance, thereby passing a test in the spirit of a \"musical Turing\ntest\".","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1708.03535v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1708.03535v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"neural-translation-of-musical-style","repo_url":"https://github.com/ucsd-dsc-arts/dsc160-final-dsc160-final-group13","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":{"status":"unanswered"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"translation","task_name":"Translation"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":"https://syntology.ai/paper/1708.03535","atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1708.03535","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
