PianoKontext: Expressive Performance Rendering from Deadpan Context
Researchers have developed PianoKontext, a novel flow matching model designed for expressive performance rendering in classical piano music. This model generates variable-length performances by operating within the latent space of a pre-trained Music2Latent model. PianoKontext addresses limitations in existing audio editing models by learning dependencies between musical scores and expressive timing through latent space alignment and DiT blocks. AI
