Piano Performances With Synchronized Hand Motions

10 hours of piano music performed by 15 elite-level pianists, comprising 153 pieces. The dataset includes synchronized audio and key pressing events, capturing physical performance data. It was created by rcwang and hosted on HuggingFace, with a last update in November 2024.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between key pressing events and generated audio waveforms for performance synthesis.
• Analyzing hand motion patterns across 15 elite pianists for biomechanical studies.
• Training models to generate synchronized audio from performance key event time-series data.
• Studying performance variations and timing across 153 renditions of piano pieces.

Strengths

• 10 hours of recorded performance data provides substantial temporal coverage.
• 153 performance pieces from 15 elite pianists offers multiple performer perspectives.
• Synchronized multimodal capture of audio and key events enables joint analysis.

Limitations

• Sample size is limited to 15 pianists, which may not generalize to all skill levels.
• The dataset focuses on a specific performance context (elite pianists), potentially introducing a skill bias.
• Geographic and demographic coverage of the pianists is unspecified, limiting cultural analysis.
