# Piano gestures dataset
This dataset contains multimodal recordings of two professional pianists performing an excerpt from Robert Schumann's _Träumerei_ (Kinderszenen Op.15 No.7) with different variations in speed execution and expressive intention.
This dataset is reported in the following paper:
Álvaro Sarasúa, Baptiste Caramiaux, Atau Tanaka, and Miguel Ortiz (2017). __Datasets for the Analysis of Expressive Musical Gestures__. In _Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Movement Computing, London, UK, June 2017 (MOCO'17)_.

## Description
Each pianist played the excerpt at 3 different tempi, with and without a metronome: normal (70 beats per minute), slow (40 bpm) and fast (120 bpm). In the no-metronome condition, they also played with _rubato_ (continuous expressive tempo alteration).
In each of the conditions for metronome and speed, they played with 5 expressive intentions: normal, still (trying to move as little as possible), exaggerated, finger _legato_ (melodic consecutive notes smoothly connected) and _staccato_ (detached consecutive notes). __3 takes__ were recorded in each of the conditions, making a total of 105 takes per pianist.

## Dataset structure
The dataset is organized in two separate folders for each of the pianists ("Pianist_01" and "Pianist_02"). Inside each pianist folder, there is one folder for each take, named as:
`<METRONOME>_<TEMPO>_<EXPRESSIVE_INTENTION>_<TAKE_NR>`
For example, the data for the 2nd take with metronome, at normal speed and exaggerated expression is located at `METRONOME_TEMPO_EXAG_2`.

- __Audio__
`audio.wav`
- __Video__
`video.mov`
- __MIDI__
`score.mid`
- __Motion Capture__
Position and orientation of 22 body limbs. Due to occlusions, the position of body limbs below the abdomen is unstable.
