TL;DR
This article presents results from an ongoing exploratory analysis of ancillary gestures of several advanced clarinetists playing standard concert solo repertoire, focusing on the timing of various performance manners, the relation that anCillary gestures have to the musical score, the different styles of expressive movements among performers, and the perception of these movements by the audience.
Abstract
This article presents results from an ongoing exploratory analysis of ancillary gestures of several advanced clarinetists playing standard concert solo repertoire. We build upon our previous work involving the analysis of clarinetists' gestures by focusing on the timing of various performance manners, the relation that ancillary gestures have to the musical score, the different styles of expressive movements among performers, and the perception of these movements by the audience.

It is found that visual information served both to augment and to reduce the experience of tension at different points in the musical piece (as revealed by functional linear modeling and functional significance testing).

Three main findings add to the knowledge of gesture and movement in music: 1) the visual component carries much of the same structural information as the audio, and 2) Gestures elongate the sense of phrasing during a pause in the sound and certain gestures cue the beginning of a new phrase.

To explore to what extent emotional intentions can be conveyed through musicians' movements, video recordings were made of a marimba player performing the same piece with the intentions Happy, Sad, Angry and Fearful, finding cues that the observers used to distinguish between intentions, similar to cues found for audio signals in music performance.

It is shown that even in the case of non-expressive performance of wind instruments, performers' ancillary gestures appear in the observed sound by means of strong partial amplitude's modulation, which account for a naturalness that is usually lacking in current synthesis applications.
