The purpose of this project was to investigate the potential offered by computational approaches for stylistic characterisation of performances. Chopin's mazurkas were chosen as a varied but well defined repertory that poses interesting performance practice issues and has been frequently recorded; we collected recordings of about 3000 individual mazurka performances, although only a modest proportion was analysed within this project.
