The examination of the performance motion and emotional valence by a pianist

Abstract

We examined the performance motion of five emotion of Juslin and emotionless by the professional pianist using the motion capture system. We can examine correspondence of the emotion and the motion in detail by using a motion capture system. We analyzed the movement for the expressing emotion of the pianist using a motion capture. As a result, we found that movement was big under joy and tenderness of the positive emotions. Conversely, anger, sadness and fear of the negative emotions had a small movement. The perfumer changed the movement of the positive and negative. In addition, we suggested connection in movement of the head and emotion. We will clarify an association between emotion and motion by examining the arm and hand. © 2013 Acoustical Society of America.
