'Would you like the musician to disappear in the end?' the author was
asked frequently while dealing with the imitation of human-rendered
performances by computer models. Yet his only aim was to investigate the
relationship between notation and performed music being a highly
fascinating topic for both, musicians and listeners.
This book provides a synopsis of the matter of performance synthesis
followed by an analysis on how 'historically informed' musicians
actually play Georg Philipp Telemann. Finally even Telemann's music is
rendered by a computer.
The initial question about the end of the musician can be seen with a
wink, of course, but nevertheless it contains a trace of concern. The
author clearly does not want the musician to disappear. However, the
question if listeners recognised that Telemann was played by a computer,
will be revealed in the last part of the book.
