AI predicts emotion shifts in piano music based on performance

Researchers have developed a novel framework called Delta-VA to predict subtle emotional shifts in classical piano music that are specifically attributable to performance variations. By isolating performance-specific features from compositional elements, the study analyzes recordings of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier Book I, focusing on valence and arousal. The framework aims to predict deviations in these emotional metrics relative to an average performance, with preliminary results showing high directional consistency but a tendency to underestimate the magnitude of expressive effects.
