Query: On Perceived Emotion in Expressive Piano Performance: Further
  Experimental Evidence for the Relevance of Mid-level Perceptual Features   Despite recent advances in audio content-based music emotion recognition, a
question that remains to be explored is whether an algorithm can reliably
discern emotional or expressive qualities between different performances of the
same piece. In the present work, we analyze several sets of features on their
effectiveness in predicting arousal and valence of six different performances
(by six famous pianists) of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier Book 1. These features
include low-level acoustic features, score-based features, features extracted
using a pre-trained emotion model, and Mid-level perceptual features. We
compare their predictive power by evaluating them on several experiments
designed to test performance-wise or piece-wise variations of emotion. We find
that Mid-level features show significant contribution in performance-wise
variation of both arousal and valence -- even better than the pre-trained
emotion model. Our findings add to the evidence of Mid-level perceptual
features being an important representation of musical attributes for several
tasks -- specifically, in this case, for capturing the expressive aspects of
music that manifest as perceived emotion of a musical performance.
