TLDR
The authors discusses recent findings in the psychology of music perception that show that visual information combines with auditory information in the perception of musical expression, and if the expressive properties of music are visual as well as sonic, then music is not what we think it is, it is not purely sonic.Abstract:
Everybody assumes (1) that musical performances are sonic events and (2) that their expressive properties are sonic properties. This paper discusses recent findings in the psychology of music perception that show that visual information combines with auditory information in the perception of musical expression. The findings show at the very least that arguments are needed for (1) and (2). If music expresses what we think it does, then its expressive properties may be visual as well as sonic; and if its expressive properties are purely sonic, then music expresses less than we think it does. And if the expressive properties of music are visual as well as sonic, then music is not what we think it is—it is not purely sonic.read more

Sight over sound in the judgment of music performance
TL;DR: The findings demonstrate that people actually depend primarily on visual information when making judgments about music performance, and the dominance of visual information emerges to the degree that it is overweighted relative to auditory information, even when sound is consciously valued as the core domain content.

When the Eye Listens: A Meta-analysis of How Audio-visual Presentation Enhances the Appreciation of Music Performance
Friedrich Platz,Reinhard Kopiez +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the average effect size of the visual component in music performance appreciation was calculated based on a meta-analysis of 15 aggregated studies on audio-visual music perception (total N = 1,298), and the outcome focus was on evaluation ratings such as liking, expressiveness or overall quality of musical performances.

Music to my eyes: cross-modal interactions in the perception of emotions in musical performance.
TL;DR: An exploratory factor analysis revealed orthogonal dimensions for positive and negative emotions, which may account for the subjective experience that many listeners report of having multi-valent or complex reactions to music, such as "bittersweet."

Cognitive penetration and the perception of art
TL;DR: For instance, the authors suggests that what one knows or otherwise thinks about art may affect, in one of two ways sketched below, how one perceives art, either because high-level aesthetic properties can be perceptually represented or because they causally depend on low-level perceptible properties.

Computational Models of Expressive Music Performance: A Comprehensive and Critical Review
Carlos E. Cancino-Chacón,Carlos E. Cancino-Chacón,Maarten Grachten,Werner Goebl,Gerhard Widmer,Gerhard Widmer +5 more
TL;DR: An up-to-date overview of the state of the art in computational music performance models is presented, including recent trends in the field, such as a strong focus on data-driven (machine learning); a growing interest in interactive expressive systems; and an increased interest in exploring cognitively plausible features and models.
