Analysis of Piano Duo Tempo Changes in Varying Convolution Reverberation Conditions
Résumé
Acoustic design of performance spaces typically places the performers' needs relatively low in the hierarchy of requirements in comparison to the quality of sound for an audience. While there are a number of studies relating to solo performers' and symphony orchestras' preferred acoustic environments, there is a paucity of literature on objective measurements of the impact of acoustic spaces on smaller ensembles. This study aims to bridge this gap by building a methodology for the analysis of changes in ensemble musical expression caused by different acoustic environments. The study finds that there is an association between reverberation time and global tempo for a colocated piano duo and provides a basis for future studies in this area. This work extends previous research in the area of acoustics and musical performance.
