The study of gestures in music performance provides valuable insights for instrumental learning. However, gestural vocabularies vary depending on the instrument being played, according to its postural and technical specificities. The goals of this study were twofold: first, to create a gesture categorization system for saxophone players, and second, to analyse their gestural behaviour across contrasting musical...
Musicians’ body behaviour has a preponderant role in audience perception. We investigated how performers’ motion is perceived depending on the musical style and musical expertise. To further explore the effect of visual input, stimuli were presented in audio-only, audio–visual and visual-only conditions. We used motion and audio recordings of expert saxophone players playing two contrasting excerpts (positively...

Mais do que reprodução mecânica, os músicos profissionais procuram atingir interpretações expressivas. Vários estudos demonstram que o comportamento corporal do executante reflete as suas intenções artísticas. O primeiro objetivo deste estudo foi compreender como é que excer...
