Performance comparisons sorted by performer

Click on one of the following performer names to view comparative performance analysis plots for that performer. Click on the "wo/avg" after the performer's name to view the same plots without the average of all performances represented in the plots.

The mazurka count specifies how many mazurkas for which there is performance data, and the performance count specifies how many total performances found on each page (a mazurka can be played more than once by a performer).

For each performance, there are five comparative plots. Each plot displays the closest performance at different timescales to the given performance for a specific performance feature:

1. full tempo curve = beat-by-beat tempo throughout the performance.
2. smoothed tempo = smoothed version of #1.
3. desmoothed tempo = #1 minus #2, or what is removed to generate the smoothed tempo curve. This is primarily the inequality of beats in the mazurka metrical pattern, as well as sudden tempo changes to accentuate isolated notes.
4. global beat dynamics = beat-by-beat dynamics measurement in the performance which is measured by sampling the loudness in the performance at the beat locations.
5. joint tempo/global dynamics = data from #1 and #4 combined into one plot.

Underneath each plot is a list of the best performance matches found in the plot along with the percentage of the plot it matches best to the reference performance. When a performance feature matches well to other performances, a second list is found underneath the percentage plot. In the second list, performances which are strongly similar to the reference performance are highlighted in red along with a similarity score. Similar performances are highlighted in orange, and slightly similar performances are highlighted in yellow.
