Analysis of motor behavior in piano performance from the mixed methods approach

This research represents an innovative perspective of the study of piano-playing movement via the direct and perceptible observation of the pianist's motor behavior in an everyday context. Observational methodology is distinguished by its low degree of internal control, which makes it possible to scientifically study the spontaneous behavior of pianists in their natural environment. This model allows us to describe and analyze piano touch for its application in the field of piano performance and teaching, emphasizing the practical implications of motor interactions in piano touch.

Abstract

This research represents an innovative perspective of the study of piano-playing movement via the direct and perceptible observation of the pianist's motor behavior in an everyday context. Observational methodology is distinguished by its low degree of internal control, which makes it possible to scientifically study the spontaneous behavior of pianists in their natural environment. This model allows us to describe and analyze piano touch for its application in the field of piano performance and teaching, emphasizing the practical implications of motor interactions in piano touch.
